ive been looking for an antivirus since i want to be able to download random stuff from the internet without having to review it

on Linux security · c/linux · 1 pts · 311d

I hear don't run random stuff from the internet alot but back when i was using windows, if i found something interesting on say github i would just download and run it and i expected windows defender to block any viruses. Is there something similar for linux? Like if I go around installing random Aur packages, is there anything stopping viruses from doing virus things?

I tried to "fix" this using xdg-ninja but then gave up and resorted to just creating a .home in ~ then running usermod -d ~/.home. Then I just symlinked my documents and .config and etc. folders to my "real" home.
