No - its not something I worry about: Linux is inherently much more secure than something like Windows:Sparky wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 2:15 pmIs that a common thing in Linux? My drive is encrypted, should I still worry about it?I would add that snapshot/live-usb also completely removes any anxiety about getting a virus , ransomware or some such. No need to slow down the system with virus-checkers etc - to protect against the remote probability of these things.
1. You need to enter your root password to make system changes - unlike Windows
2. You install most of your apps from the repositories , not random websites ( like Windows).
3.You have control over everything that gets installed on your system - unlike Windows, where MS has a sort of godlike privilege to push whatever they want , whenever they want.
