i use windows because its the only os i know how to use. i want to get into things like torrenting because free stuff is cool but im afraid to. ive heard of tails os, a os that boots from a flash drive, is that worth checking out or should i stick with windows?
what is your advice? what should i do?
If all you want to do is torrent just use a vpn, as it sounds like all you really want is to avoid DMCA notices.
This is a good lesson in understanding your threat model.
