With the increase popularity of the linux desktop and the steamdeck, will new viruses and malwares be developed for linux systems? should we better use an antivirus?

This is definitely a situation where having a password manager with auto-filling is nice. When you save your login for
amazon.com
it ties it to the URL as well. So if you end up going toamzaon.com
by any means and don’t manage to catch it, your password manager won’t fill in your details because it doesn’t recognize the domain.Of course, this won’t stop you from say, using one of the “Login with Google/Apple/Amazon/etc” buttons on some dodgy website, and granting it access to your account (because you’d be redirected to
google.com
/apple.com
/amazon.com
) but it’s at least an layer of “Wait, something isn’t right here” when the auto-fill doesn’t trigger.Password managers are an absolute must-have in this day and age. That and MFA. And making as few accounts as humanly possible.
But, the more general concepts I’m trying to get at are that pobody’s nerfect, you don’t know what you don’t know you don’t know, and we’re all just apes prone to lapses in judgment at innoportune times.
