Regarding your edit:
Having read through the comment chains here, your source is a relatively new malware called RingReaper.
This article from cybersecurity news seemed nice and they linked to the actual PICUS security report which first identified the malware, I think.
I’m not sure whether this malware is actually used to infect Linux desktops or if it’s mostly used for infecting servers, or whether it is used at all. I agree that people shouldn’t let their guard down with malware on Linux. Anti-malware programs on Linux are a good idea and it seems there are already projects tracking and combating malware on Linux. I do agree that Linux malware is not unheard of.
Nonetheless you seem to over exaggerate a bit. There is malware attacking servers running Linux but I doubt that many of those would work on desktop Linux. Furthermore, desktop share of Linux is still low, so there won’t be a big incentive for malicious actors to target Linux desktops specifically. The comments you posted here seem more like paranoia to me and do not seem useful, and your single example of a Linux kernel virus seems more like a derailment of the conversation. With that I can understand the downvotes. Don’t take it too harsh either, no need for your witty comment:
Explains a lot of contemporary politics, I think
lol
Just want to cheer you up a bit. You don’t need a relationship to be happy. I hate that people think like that nowadays but everyone should be allowed to be happy being single. But also, if you do seek a relationship it might still happen eventually. You got this :)
Also: OP sure is an ass lol. The original post is pretty stupid. Maybe just rage bait.
