Nice try, FBI. I use none. I am paranoid about what software I download, and I generally don't feel like I'm exposing an attack surface. To be fair, I think Windows Defender is running and Edge has incoming stuff scanned for malware, because I never turned that off.

And, um, on Ubuntu, apt packages are signed, right?

Well unless you or any software you use pulls packages from secondary sources like unverified git repos, npm, or pypi.
Your OS pwns you.
