Now if you want Antivirus then:
Here's the best free Linux antivirus in 2023:
In addition to having a powerful command-line antivirus scanner, it's open-source, it's got a massive virus directory that's continuously updated, and it's completely free.
You should now install the Linux Mint 21.22 Victoria to have the world’s best operating system. It is open source so this means it is protected by thousands of programmers who spend their time to ensure that all the code is visible and virus free.
So why have anti-virus as Linux never has a virus well everyone likes security especially now if you connect to the internet.
There have been dozens of Linux-specific viruses, some of which include Arches, Banon, Bliss, Bundle, Relax, Rike, WIt Virus and ZipWorn. Viruses aren't the only threat facing Linux systems, either. Linux systems can succumb to infection from other types of malwares, including ransomware, trojans and worms Google said in 27 Sept 2022.
Don’t worry though Open-Source Nature The open-source nature of Linux also protects it from viruses. Like most types of open-source software, Linux has a community of developers who are constantly working to optimize and improve it. It’s not a commercially sold or licensed OS. Rather, Linux is free and open source. And with its open-source nature, it’s constantly being updated. When vulnerabilities are discovered, developers will fix them. In Mint there are extra protections as well as ClamAV. Best of all there is a whole community of users that contribute to the Linux Mint Forum that help you with everything you need to know and just search and your question will surely have been answered a long time ago.
Now with the Yumi stick install Linux Mint 21.22 Victoria. I have made a YouTube video to help answer questions so subscribe and we can help even further. Just Google YouTube videos by John Dolke. You will see a Gimp tutorial there. All Linux operating sytems can download Gimp with the Terminal command apt install Gimp. From Linux Mint 19.1 they stopped installing Gimp on the Software Menu.
It is very simple to install so you can see you will not need the video but subscribe anyway to the channel then you can ask further questions.
