Yeah I'd think so too. I should clarify: lack of popularity as a desktop OS means less desktop/amateur viruses. I'd assume most server attacks are more targeted

Yeah I'd think so too. I should clarify: lack of popularity as a desktop OS means less desktop/amateur viruses. I'd assume most server attacks are more targeted and curated. It's basically unnecessary to run any sort of anti-malware program on Linux, because not enough people use it for writing viruses for it to be profitable. And because the people who use it as a desktop are generally more knowledgeable and safe with their habits.
