Im very paranoid about getting into piracy and im not sure if i should or it or not but there are so many things i want that i cant afford.
is there a secure linux os that i can use without a vpn? im pretty use to windows 10 but i was told linux mint is good for this kind of stuff, is that true?
well ill do my best to follow your order but do i need a vpn?
That’s not any sort of order, just a suggestion. Others may indeed have better advice than me.
Yes. You always will.
im very sorry but i cant afford a vpn because im a teen with no job and my family dosent see the point in using vpns unless your part of a big company, which annoys me at times.
You probably shouldn’t torrent anything dicier than Linux ISOs then.

p2p traffic for torrenting isn’t enabled on proton vpn free version. So using it would not protect your torrenting.
Ahh, OK. their paid plan is reasonable, plus you get email, drive, calendar, and password manager
Consider your threat model. Billion dollar mega corporations have no interests in going after jobless teenagers.
Tell them if no VPN, they’re getting sued by a bunch of copyright holders.
