Any super smart threat people reading this?
Does anti-virus matter anymore?
I haven't installed one for years, on Windows, Mac or Linx (decades?), it's unclear if that is a mistake or not.

If you're a single user, effective offline backups are probably a better investment. It's not that bad starting from scratch if you have all your data. It takes me about an hour to throw a usable build onto my laptop.
However corporate networks where the damage has a big multiplier may benefit from it and you certainly don't want to be asked all sorts of questions about whether or not you had a risk mitigation in place if something does happen.
Also with stuff like Steam and only downloading major games I should be fine. Most of my owned games atm are pretty old.
