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???
don’t get software from random sites and use your package manager with distro provided repo only
And if you need an app from a third party repo, pick one that includes at least rudimentary sand boxing such as flatpak/flathub
Flatpak is missing even rudimentary sandbox features. Apps that don’t have an easy sandbox escape are rare. And this is all useless when it’s the app developer who decides the app permissions because most users won’t tinker with every Flatpak they install.
Flatpaks are NOT any more secure than system packages, and their “sandboxing” should not be trusted to accomplish anything.
And if you pegleg some games, there’s an ice cream-loving wrestler (or maybe some folk that just borrowed the id) that tend to bubble wrap their warez.
If it says no network access, my Wireshark says no network is being accessed. That’s all the confirmation I got.
it’s lemmy, you don’t have to be cute about it
