Gee, I wonder whether it’s possible to have zero-day exploits on Linux and 7-Zip.

It is, but Linux has such a low desktop usage share that it wouldn’t really be considered as a target for hackers. I believe that hackers really only target Linux servers, not desktops.

How would a hacker even notice the difference between a Linux server and.a Linux desktop? Those are the same thing.

Barely anyone uses Linux, and among those who do, distros vary wildly enough between each other to the point of breaking viruses that it’s just not worth the effort to make viruses for them compared to Windows or Mac
