Do you have any antivirus recomendations for Linux.
Install all applications from your package manager.
Don't run things as root.
Don't visit sketchy websites.
Run an ad-blocker that isn't owned by an advertising company.
Wow, "it never happened to me so it shouldn't matter when it happens to you" is the biggest shit-take I've seen today.
Bye!
The only way to say "no" is to not give them the opportunity to ask the question to begin with.

HDDs are for cheap, not for reliable. Anecdotal, but my personal failure rate with HDDs is around 98% while my failure rate with all forms of flash media (including SSDs) is around 2%.
