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???

        If it says no network access, my Wireshark says no network is being accessed. That’s all the confirmation I got.
