Can you get a virus just for visiting a sketchy website?

Also, some programs aren’t available via my package manager (I use Fedora) so I have to add 3rd party repos. Is there a general security guide for linux?

Thank you!

Fedora works with dnf, installing a rpm file.

I haven’t installed it yet, so I’ll switch to flatpak too!

What do you mean?

I had a problem with Mega using Fedora. Trying to update from Fedora 37 to 38, I had a dependency problem with the Megasync app. I tried uninstalling but the problem persisted and I couldn’t upgrade, so I had to make a clean install.

Other than that, Mega and Syncthing worked perfect for me.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m barely using reddit/twitter and now I spend most of my online time on Lemmy/Mastodon.
