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.

  1. 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.

  2. is there a way to help out the piracy community without breaking any rules or breaking the bank?

  3. 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.

is there a Linux distro you suggest?

If your only use case is to rip CDs or whatever, any USB with more than a couple GB can act as a live disk, which basically lets you boot directly into linux from the USB. Installed packages don't persist so maybe you can do some research to find a distro that has what you need built in. I'm 99% one exists that suits exactly your needs. I've literally just spent the last week installing and trying out different distros and Linux Mint is the best for set it and forget style linux.

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.
