That thing is using android or is some cloud game thingy?
That thing is using android or is some cloud game thingy?
CLike I have used bazzite for a while now but I had to wipe the dam thing because it got infected with a rat
Kit's their android handheld from like 2014
JIt looks so uncomfortable tho
CLike I'm just lost
ZBut bro, they got green leds. That's gaming!
Kidk I never owned one. I did have the original Shield TV, but that was a box and came with a controller, wasn't a handheld
JI'd be interested how you managed to but generally the answer is "play stupid games win stupid prizes"
JIs like holding a brick
KThere are no RATs on Bazzite
CWhy
KBecause its read only
KThey cannot write
CGrubs now broke
JRAT?
Dremote access trojan, iirc
CYe a rat
ZHow do you know you got one of those?
Ri doubt nvidia cares
Dyou generally have to be doing something that's really against best practices to get one tho
Rthey aren't making their money off of consumer hardware, they're making it off of data centers wanting a bazillion GPUs
CWell I have suspect I got one because zero trust and there was some sus stuff going on
JBtw Linux don't use antivirus?
ZNop
Kyou can
Kclamav is a thing
ZIs not maintained anymore if I remember correctly
KClamAV is designed to look for windows malware on a linux email server, first and foremost
CWe have SELinux, formerly known as NSA SELinux
Kit's not really a "Linux AV"
Kwell yeah.
Rit's not that there isn't malware on linux, but given how annoying it is to get various consumer programs to work, malware has a rough go of it on linux
KI think exploits and such are more of a risk than viruses
JI feel like I have my front door open so anyone can pass.
K
Rransomware is pretty common
Rthat world has been targeting cloud servers and stuff
ZDependency hell for malware LMAO
KI've managed to never run into such things, but I don't click shady stuff and keep all my browser extensions up to date.
Rso there are quite a few linux focused ransomware programs
Ri mean, they're targeting servers
CWell ransomware only needs access to the file system which is a pretty standard permission for obvious reasons
Rdocker containers, stuff like that
Kand if I got hit with ransomware I'd just format.
CWhy is there not a mainstream anti virus for desktop linux
CBut stuff that can actually impair function should be quite rare
Kbut I doubt they target 'individual linux users' often
Rbecause it's very hard for malware to broadly target
KBecause there's not a virus for desktop linux
JYet
Rthere are
