Hi. I wanted to know if it's needed to install a firewall on a linux desktop/laptop. Why yes or why no?

      At that point why not just have the firewall set to deny everything just to be safe though? There's always the chance you missed something that's decided to listen on some random port and if you aren't using anything that listens on a network why have the firewall open anyway
