To answer your question directly: No idea.

Of tangential importance to your question: Apparently TPB has been considered untrustworthy for a number of years, probably since it "returned" after the original crew behind it did a stint in Swedish prison. Infected torrents have been found there and the "skull" ratings mean very little.

    1337x, torrentgalaxy, nyaa(anime), rutracker(music) and btdig(everything) should cover all your needs.

    Oh that’s adorable, you think you are untouchable. Please look into the XZ incident and get back to us.

    The point is Linux lets you do things, even stupid things. It cuts both ways. The average user isn’t more secure there, the attacks are just different.

    Has any pirate site ever been trustworthy? And if you run pirated software, you get what you get. Roll the dice or wait for a Steam sale.

    Yes. Next question.

    wait for a Steam sale.

    Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

    Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don't actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there's no way to get a standalone installer for them.

    Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren't treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don't need to worry about that with GOG.
