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????
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
I’m not a native speaker either. I mentioned his writing to point out he is literally a kid, not to mock his grammar. You can look at his account and see his posts
You want to "lead him to Linux" but he clearly just wants to pirate stuff and we all know this community will mock him the second he breaks his system
Instead of naively thinking about how this elitist community will "nourish" him, it would be infinitely more useful to teach him about attack surfaces and keeping personal data off a risky system entirely

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's best to start using different OSs for different things assuming that no single OS is truly safe
You can just use a VM and an antivirus on Windows. Linux isn't really necessary for your scenario
