I have always heard not to use antivirus on Linux but I saw the post about a guy getting a RAT exploit backdoored through wine and it had me thinking should I be using ClamAV or some other antivirus for Linux?

It also apllies some security practices by default, like not executable by default, mime type detection of files (no document.pdf.exe), which does make a linux desktop more safe.
And safety is always a compromise with practicability. For example, Linux-hardened.
But sure, there’s always room for improvement.
