I hadn't used any anti virus in about 8 years. Being on Linux and Chromeos mostly on the pc side and using Fdroid opensource apps and the few big apps needed from PlayStore.

I haven't used any antivirus on Windows since 2008, generally doing whatever I want and just not being stupid about it, and I've had no issues.
