From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any distro is fine for piracy, ~~you could also set up tor tunnel for torrents~~
Only if your client supports itif ISP is something your worried about or just use a free VPN serviceYou shouldn't use Tor for torrents https://blog.torproject.org/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea/
Dear god, don't use free VPNs. If they're not charging you,.they're making money somehow, generally by selling your personal data.
I'd agree but if all I wanted was to torrent without my ISP knowing then its not important, personally I use paid for VPN service but I'd class myself as a privacy advocate
