From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

is there like a competent antivirus i could use: the system is freshly installed and i havent used any shady software; everything from the repo and a hash checked tor browser(I didnt visit any shady site just clearnet browsing)
Then it's probably just
more. Again: your post did not contain enough information for anyone to provide an answer to your question.Antivirus doesn't do what it promises. The only general solution for a compromised system is a clean reinstall. (This is true in Windows too.)
There are several antivirus solutions for Linux, but you shouldn't need them if you do not execute stuff you downloaded outside of your package manager. The maintainers of your distribution are supposed to check if their packages contain viruses.
