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???

      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
