Hello everybody! I can say I’m a newbie at Linux. Wanted to ask about Linux’ task viewers. On the famous task viewers such as bpytop, htop etc., can viruses hide from them? Excluding the injected codes, can virus & tracker/logger softwares hide from classic task viewers of Linux? Do they show all kinds of services and running tasks?

    Good point, but seems like a non starter from many opinions on Linux forums.

      I understand caution when approaching things like secure boot - it can absolutely be abused by monopolies. however… barring inherent or implementation flaws and ensuring that signing keys are under user control it conceptually (and practically) allows for some useful things.
