Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab announced that it’s bringing its flagship Kaspersky anti-virus software for home users over to Linux. Kaspersky software was previously available for Linux just for business/enterprise deployments.
…
Kaspersky for home users provides AI-powered anti-virus, anti-phising protections, online payment protections, and other stated features.
…
Their Linux operating system requirements amount to:
“Kaspersky for Linux supports major 64-bit Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, ALT Linux, Uncom, and RED OS.”
…
Besides the difficulties from various governments, Kaspersky also notes their Linux software is not yet GDPR compliant as another potential complication.
Anyone guaranteeing 100% protection is lying to you. They are going to be 100% spying on your computer (I can all but prove it).
This is going to be a no from me. And I would not encourage anyone to use it either. We don’t want Linux desktop bloat.

“Not yet GDPR compliant” yeah a lot of AV software is a privacy nightmare. I would definitely steer clear.
