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

You shouldn't trust your device. Modern software is insanely complicated, even netbsd had an rce.
Trust may be the worng word as Windows will be Windows but I know that no one is going to zero day my devices because I am not that high value of a target.
That's a bad mentally as well. Most stacks these days are about quantity not quality. If you blindly hit 10000 targets it's more profitable than trying to spear a single one.
Akin to not wearing a seatbelt because you are unlikely to be killed by a sniper
