      It’s better I fact. There’s a lot less worry about installing a virus.

        (Not so) fun fact, a lot of Windows viruses work under Wine on Linux. If you have ransomware bundled with your pirated media, it will likely also encrypt your Linux files.

        Use Bottles as a Flatpak, isolate all your applications from each other and from your host system.

            No, not necessarily. Wine programs usually have access to your home directory as a Windows drive (X: or Z: or similar). So do be careful

              I mean it’s probably possible to craft a Windows virus that targets Linux through Wine, but I don’t think a generic Windows malware would do any damage on Linux.
