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 i go with linux or linux mint do i need a vpn or something or am i good without one? sorry if im being paranoid.
Your worry is the OS (Microsoft) spying on you or you ISP? If is the first you are good with Linux, if is the second then you need a VPN.
