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

    Some people like hosting some servers on their desktop as well, and doesn't want others on their local network to access them. With firewalls, you can allow specific IP address to reach those servers.
