Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file that is less than 24 hours old. I was streamed using VLC version 3.0.20 form the repose on Linux.

Definitely no, viruses need 48-72 hours of incubation before the .mkv host becomes contagious. If the file is <24 hours old, I'd look for another source.

If you're worried your computer might be infected, you should consider swapping your case LEDs with UV lights to purify your system.
