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

    Yeah, I kind of agree. Unless this is a mobile device pretty much all traffic will come from within your subnet. I often deny incoming from my gateway (i.e. router) and poke holes as necessary.
