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

    I strongly disagree.

    For example on systems based on Debian (running myself) which simply enables networked services by default running a firewall is a total no brainer. Same is true for literally every Linux distribution with dependency management.

    Especially if someone asks, it is a strong indicator this person should run a firewall.
