Installing Kaspesky Premium on Bazzite

Hi all,

I wish to install Kaspersky premium on my bazzite system. I have two files to chose from

kfl_2.0.0-987_amd64.deb.setup

kfl-2.0.0-987.x86_64.rpm.setup

Researching how to through Grok has given me a number of options which are confusing.
It also noted that Bazzite doesnt like to work with RPM files.
Installing thru Bazzar comes up with an error.

Am I suppose to rename the package?

I appreciate your help with this.

Cheers and Beers

Just don’t is your best option

I’m almost speechless, but I just cant help myself.

AI = Bad
Grok AI = Even Worse
Kaspersky = Even Worserer

So glad this system is immutable :slight_smile:

I’ve been using Linux for over twenty years, I’ve never installed any anti virus software, and I’ve never had any problems with viruses, that I’m aware of anyway. My understanding has always been that a) Linux is very difficult to write viruses for, and with the current trend towards immutable OSes it becomes even more difficult, and b) Linux desktop is not a particularly attractive target for virus writers anyway. But when I read the Kaspersky web page it says the exact opposite. Is this just marketing hype? Should I be worried?

Very well put. Thanks for your two bobs worth. I paid for a two year subscription for kaspersky when I was running Window 10 before the end of update. I researched Win11 on to find out what a dogs breakfast it was hence my switching to Bazzite. I too read the hype and and was looking for some real world facts from the forum users.

As a regular end user, take my experience with a grain of salt. From my understanding, if you stick to reliable sources when downloading something, stay away from pirating stuff and pretty much all illegal stuff and sprinkle a little bit of common sense, you will not need an antivirus.

It’s been 20 years since I last used an antivirus and never had an instance of my system being compromised. Linux makes this considerably easier for a regular joe. Use the software center and download verified applications, stay away from shady add-ons, mods, offers that sound too good to be true and you will be good.

Antivirus software, for me, are useful if you are a high-profile target like a server, database, celebrity etc. that might be actively targeted. As far as I am concerned, Kaspersky would be the closest thing to a virus on my pc if I install it.
