Im very paranoid about getting into piracy and im not sure if i should or it or not but there are so many things i want that i cant afford.

is there a secure linux os that i can use without a vpn? im pretty use to windows 10 but i was told linux mint is good for this kind of stuff, is that true?

      Err kali isnt particularly privacy focused or piracy focused. It has its palace but it’s not really a daily driver imo

        I didn’t say it was meant as a daily driver in the first place. If you want a private system, it should be isolated from your public system.

        Never log in on your private system, half the problem solved. Want full privacy, use a VPN and/or Tor along with that.

          im very sorry but i cant afford a vpn because im a teen with no job and my family dosent see the point in using vpns unless your part of a big company, which annoys me at times.

            You probably shouldn’t torrent anything dicier than Linux ISOs then.

              p2p traffic for torrenting isn’t enabled on proton vpn free version. So using it would not protect your torrenting.

                Ahh, OK. their paid plan is reasonable, plus you get email, drive, calendar, and password manager

            Tell them if no VPN, they’re getting sued by a bunch of copyright holders.
