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???

    That’s not a good enough reason to use it, even disposably, even as a throwaway, ever. Unless your producing music or video and can’t adapt to the alternatives, or something like that, there’s no reason to use Windows at all.

    No matter how many different layers of virtualization you use, then just different fistros. Never Windows.
