I have default windows defender, but didnt even know its antivirus lol. Is there any antivirus installed by default on any popular linux distro? What do you use?

I feel like antivirus can just annoy me when trying to crack something, but maybe defender protects me and im not aware.

There are still viruses for Linux to watch out for, but they are much rarer to come by, so I don't have an antivirus on my Linux machine.

Rootkits still can exist for Linux, but because there are more Windows users and thus more to be gained from a Windows virus of any sort, it would be pretty hard to find a rootkit for Linux.
