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?

    You don’t need Linux to torrent. The VPN is so your ISP doesn’t send you love letters. That’s the useful thing.

      TAILs forces all traffic through Tor. It’s disallowed etiquette to use Tor for torrenting.

      So dont use TAILs for this.

      Never torrent over Tor, torrent over I2P it actually supports it and has its own torrent client i2psnark
