I know that Linux is more secure than Windows and normally doesn't need an antivirus, but know myself I'm gonna end up downloading something at some point from somewhere on the internet, and it would be good to be prepared. So, which antivirus would you recommend for Linux (Mint specifically) just to double up on security?

If you don’t need on-access scanning - and just want manual scanning of individual files that you’ve downloaded before you execute them, you can use Lenspect (available on flathub) which submits files to virustotal.com https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.vmkspv.lenspect
