Hi. I wanted to know if it’s needed to install a firewall on a linux desktop/laptop. Why yes or why no?

    You should bring your own hardware wherever possible. I’d never trust my local network to the ISP.

      Not to mention, a lot of ISPs still provide you with shit hardware, so by just purchasing an actually somewhat decent router you may even notice a performance improvement on your network as well.
