linux isnt immune to viruses even though its not as bad as windows

what should i do to be safe if i have a safe browser, vm, but pirate and download risky things? i know its a vm but i still dont want to have to delete everything in the vm if something happens. also the malware doesnt go to the router and spread rigt???

    It’s best to start using different OSs for different things assuming that no single OS is truly safe

        OP is the kind of user who used Tails on his own computer to log into his Gmail account. He has grammar issues and thinks Linux is this hacker OS that makes you anonymous and impossible to hack

        Let’s be real, do you think this is the best thing for OP who is presumably a child?

          i mean if op is a legit kid, i’d rather lead them to the world of linux than windows. at least that’s what worked nicely for me

          and please don’t accuse people of grammar issues unless it’s very obvious they’re trolling. english is not everyone’s first language. i’m also not a native speaker and struggle writing basic shits quite occasionally
