Clamav is ok to use for scanning files for malware. If you want something to detect behavior you can use Falco or tetragon to log events on your system. Those systems are best used if you send them to centralized log system but that’s complete overkill for personal use

The closest thing to foss LinkedIn would be the repos, forums, and chats for open source projects. Some of them have other dedicated channels for jobs other times it’s you know this person and they see you are looking for work and they tell their friends. There is not a drop in replacement for LinkedIn that is open source. The biggest value of LinkedIn is a network effect so even if it did exist not using LinkedIn would make finding a new job harder since you couldn’t find opportunities that are only posted on LinkedIn.

Side note LinkedIn is gross they serve ads in your dms and notifications

There are philosophical and technical reasons to not like snaps

Technical

• Slow startup time
• Makes lsblk look really ugly
• For awhile users didn’t have a lot of control over when things updated
• Not designed to work with third party repos by default
• Requires apparmor so it doesn’t work well on selinux distros.

Philosophical

• Backend is proprietary and controller by a single company
• Has made the same amount of effort as flatpak to work on distros that aren’t Ubuntu
• Some people just don’t like Ubuntu
