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?
This right here is probably the easiest thing anyone can do, Jackett can be pretty useful too and is easier than it appears.
The distro/os is only part of the puzzle, your ISP is the other. Sites like https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/peer/ can see what has been downloaded on your IP. So, if you have a static IP it could be an issue. My ISP has only ever reported me once… because a friend came over and decided to download a Massive Attack album over torrent and didn’t use a filter list I guess? I don’t know. I was able to prove that I had owned the album since its release in the 90’s so the problem went away.
