No Operating System (OS) is "immune." But linux users are a rare bunch and viruses written for this OS are very rare. You will probably never see a virus, nor need anti-virus because of this lack of interest by attackers.
Should a skilled attacker become individually interested with you, then I don't want you to think that linux is impervious. A lesson naive MAC users are learning now. SSG LeMere aka ArmyNerd.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
