How many genuine issues (not nonsense like “blah.con has stored a cookie” does your av pick up?

Why make it easier for the adversaries? While annoying, running EPP on your desktop OS is not exactly neuroscience.
Ideally, it's furnished by the OS provider so that there are fewer parties to trust. I hate to say it, but Microsoft is now teaching by example. MS has factually one of the best-in-class Endpoint Protection agents on the market.
If resources allowed, all other desktop OS providers should follow suit, otherwise they are just shirking responsibility.
Would love other input as I’m not an Ubuntu daily driver anymore.
It turns out 22.04 has ClamAV “provided and supported,” but not installed by default. So it should easily install manually. That’s what I would go with first, as it’s officially supported. An OS vendor supporting a specific AV vendor is a really big deal imho.
If that is not satisfactory by some metric, and this is just my personal and dated opinion… I used to like Eset.
I was naive before, but next time I install desktop Ubuntu, I will install ClamAV immediately.
