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???

      It either takes up a lot of space or it doesn’t. I don’t know how much you’re backing up or how much space is a lot to you.

      You can’t screw up and learn without the consequences. That’s how you learn. Without the consequences you don’t take things seriously. Backups will help you to recover when you do screw up.
