Hi. I wanted to know if it's needed to install a firewall on a linux desktop/laptop. Why yes or why no?

    Good point, but syncthing only listens on localhost as others have said too.
    However it still is a network service that can have vulnerabilities, besides many others like KDE Connect (which may be a target as one of its purposes is remote control and monitoring) or a bittorrent client
