How worried should I be about malware on CachyOS?

The distros Iv'e been hopping back and forth for months on are steam os, zorin os and linux mint. I want to try this even though i'm probably still considered a beginner with Linux. But I did hear something about malware.

Is it necessary to have secure boot enabled for zorin os when setting it up?

It's disabled in my bios, and I'd rather not have to deal with setting up a secure boot password.

should it be safe to download the proton services from steam os?

I saw that steam os has Proton mail, Proton pass, and Proton vpn. the official site does not have it for Arch Linux, so i''m wondering how safe these are to download from steam os.

Whenever I connect my pc to my 120hz tv in game mode it locks all my games to 60fps.

Gaming mode works great without issue on my monitors, has anyone had this happen?

Is there a way to lock the charge percentage of the steam controller to not reach 100 percent?

I did this on my deck because I heard it's bad to fully charge it all the time, the same with letting the battery completely die.

Has anyone else had this happen on the steam controller?

I was playing doom yesterday. I got a slight fps drop. Then my character was facing the complete opposite direction like it was a bug in the controller. This has happened on M&K but never on a controller. It's not a big enough issue to try and get a replacement, but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

My controller arrived today!

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but this controller doesn't have haptic feedback on the L2 and R2 like the ps5 controller?
