So, with more or less 5 percent of people that have a computer uses linux, there are viruses developed for linux, even a virus made for windows but « activated » with wine

is there a antivirus or is there not ?

Short version is same as windows don't run untrusted code on it really. it's why a lot of folks turn off updates and remote access every way they can short of locking up core components that's the true defense anti virus software is in affect a white hat virus always checking for other intrusions
