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???

      A usb mouse wont work to start the OS, so it’s a hardware issue but you are very close. If you have a laptop, you could use the touchpad for the start up

          It should be working normally but I’m not an expert at that. You could buy a desktop computer with a PS/2 keyboard input. You wouldn’t need a mouse with such a setup. But still you should buy a usb mouse to be comfortable
