And then you get hooked on it and start using it for real

I know this is a joke but for anyone reading: Linux has many advantages and is great but is NOT immune to viruses or exploits.
- Though there are very few of them... at least regarding virurses.
  
  That isn't true at all.
  Source: My job is hardening Linux servers against cyber security threats.

All jokes aside, using Linux really does bring some peace of mind when it comes to malware.
While Linux malware certainly exists, it's nowhere near as prevalent as Windows one, so that's one less headache to give serious consideration to.
- once linux is more common, that will change for the worse
  
  Probably still not as bad as Windows due to open source nature
  After all, there's plenty of Linux servers around, hacking them can be a huge market, so there already is an incentive to hack into Linux.
  Also, it's a bold assumption that Linux will overtake the desktop market the way it did with servers in any reasonable timeframe.
  
  At that point BSD will take the place of linux I guess.
- I have yet to see a person that uses an AV on his Linix install.
  
  i have clamav on mine
  
  Yeah. Sometimes I wonder why anyone would bother :D
  
  I have a virus on my pc. It's called Arch Linux. I love how they brought over one of the most prominent features from windows: system degradation over time. Not every Arch issue can actually be solved without a reinstall unless you're one of the top percentile Linux gurus that understands everything there is to know.
  Seriously. Even Gentoo works better after 3 years of use than an Arch Linux installation.

did..did you really started using linux because of porn?
- Of course not, it was because I really liked this girl, and she used Linux too.
  
  GNU/rizz
  
  lmao, this is unironically the reason one of my exs stared using Linux. Because I kept hyping it up so he figured it was a good bonding activity to learn it. To my knowledge he still uses it.
  
  goals
- Takes all types I guess.
  But maybe take OP's distro recommendations with a grain of salt...
  
  I use Void BTW.
- It was not a hard choice.
  
  I mean, I'd wager it specifically was a hard choice.
- I mean, if OP is going to the type of websites that have that significant of a risk of hacking him, he's pretty deep into the depravity.
- That’s… quite the dedication. I personally just never downloaded things or ran random executables from porn sites, but hey… who am I to judge, I guess
  
  There's always a risk of JavaScript breaking out of the sandbox and crap like that. Browser vendors do their best to protect against things like that but security is often a trade-off for speed and people like fast software, not to mention browsers are huge and complex and they're going to have vulnerabilities. A browser's whole job is to execute remote untrusted code, do you trust it that much to be flawless?
  ...... I mean, I don't but I use it anyway so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
  
  virus.exe has downloaded - Kalm
  Wine opens up - Panik!

Btw, news and software sites are scarier in malvertising than porn sites.
- Remember when Forbes loaded malware onto people's computers after demanding they turn off their ad blockers? Cause I sure do.
  
  Oh wow, I hadn't heard of this before but boy oh boy

Okay, serious question: which distro is the best for watching Pr0n? One that can handle multiple video streams with out slowing down would be great.
C'mon you nerds, help a degenerate out!
- Any distro, I don't think there's a difference in this case
- Boot off a live media every time you want to watch it
  
  They're clearly asking about performance not security
  
  What about a VM in Windows?
  
  TAILS
- Tail OS.
- Why would you need multiple video streams for that?
- Gentoo
- Not fedora, i had issues playing any Video file with the standart install. Something openh264 related

The real Linus Tech Tips (now with 100% less sexual harrassment).

The hook is being able to load it onto SBC and selfhosted servers without the hassle of buying a license to an OS and being also to configure it in a way beyond what someone in Redmond or Cupertino intended.

Using Linux to access religious websites that have been proven more likely to hack you than porn websites:
- Or making your own relious distro that out right blocks porn sites! 🤯
  
  Why even allow access to the internet? When you can talk directly to God on the OS
  This Post was made by the TempleOS Gang

Sweet times, when I made malware running with WINE.
- Wasn't there a story about bug found in kernel because some malware kept crashing in wine?
  
  Yeah, I think I can remember...
  
  Lol, this is too funny to be real 🤣🤣🤣.
  On the other hand, you really can't make this shit up 🤣🤣🤣.

True, nobody cares about us, linux-user porn watchers. It's a discrimination!

What is pzerorn
- What?
  
  It says p0rn and I want to know what pzerorn is

Cringe
- Shhhh. Let people enjoy things
