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???
1 does it take a lot of space usually?
2 how to do screw up (you need to screw up to learn how not to) and not get screwed with the consequences
3 thx
It either takes up a lot of space or it doesn’t. I don’t know how much you’re backing up or how much space is a lot to you.
You can’t screw up and learn without the consequences. That’s how you learn. Without the consequences you don’t take things seriously. Backups will help you to recover when you do screw up.
1 - there’s 2 things to consider here… A) Your files (documents, photos, etc) B) Everything else (the Windows / Linux mac operating system, applications, your screensaver, printer defaults, etc)
You only need to backup A.
It’s up to you if you want / have space for B
But, 1st time, backup everything. Then do item 2 (screw up) big time and do a full restore.
Once you’ve done that, you’re set for life
thx
