Why desktop Linux is finally growing in popularity
Not long before malware becomes more prevalent on Linux now that more people are using it. But Linux is not some magic bullet that stops all malware, you have to practice good opsec and harden your environment too. How to do this is outside the scope of my comment. If you are concerned though there are these resources:

Do you perform additional security hardening to Fedora after installation?

[Arch Linux] Since Arch is modular, applications like firewall and sandbox or antivirus need to be installed and configured manually. But is it really recommended to have those installed and configured as precautions?
now, if you want a hardened workstation you should check out this -- https://github.com/lfit/itpol/blob/master/linux-workstation-security.md -- mind you, some of the data on here, like browsers and extensions/etc are out-dated but the general premise is pretty solid.

What *general purpose* desktop Linux distros have the best overall security?
The Linux workstation security checklist would be a better recommendation. While also not targeted at home users, it gives at least some priority levels.

USBGuard
If I were an attacker, could I clone the device id and attributes of the victim's previously approved devices? https://github.com/USBGuard/usbguard#before-the-first-start
Anyway I enjoy this HID stuff, I've been playing with using a computer as a keyboard to another computer. With scroll, num, and capslock LED's, bidirectional communication can be achieved and by injecting a small process I think some new kind of universal REPL can be accomplished.

USBGuard vs USB?
Few days ago I found this: https://usbguard.github.io/ but during read some information how-to, I found comments similar to this: "A USB device can identify itself basically however it wants ". What's your opinion? USBGuard could be a tool, that nice to have or could be useless for some reason?
