Honestly, im scared to get into piracy because im afraid of getting in trouble or failing, basically im worried for no reason. I also have some random questions about piracy.

should downloaded things be put on a internal or external hard drive. Because my external hard drive can be weird at times and i know some files required them to be installed internally.
is there a way to help out the piracy community without breaking any rules or breaking the bank?
are direct downloads safer or torrent, or something else?

that is all i have at the moment but feel free to add on to this if you wish too.

Your local library.

No joke: Many have sizeable media libraries and it's easy to rip optical media

ive tried that and its great but they always have some sort of block that prevents you from downloading/copying dvds, and they only have so much and what if i want something like a video game or software, what do i do?

The power of Linux

[–] QuietStorm@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

is there a Linux distro you suggest?

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mint Linux, Ubuntu based, but works with flatpack instead of snapd, and doesn't have tracking blah blahs by default. Extremely popular as well, so well supported.

The one everyone says is best for gaming is Arch, but if you have trouble assembling an IKEA desk, stay away for now.

Don't know jack about Linux, but people here often mention Ubuntu, apparently it's easy for peeps new to linux, though not the best for gaming. Forget what distro specializes in that one.
