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???
Yes but we are talking about security and the risk of cross contamination. Would you really set up a VM and download risky files on the exact same Linux machine that holds all your personal data? I wouldn’t.
