I've used everything from XP to 11. Win 7 was definitely, and by far, the most comfortable for me to use. 8 was hot garbage, 10 was tolerable, and 11 made me switch to Linux a week in.

On God fr. I'm just glad I can still carry my pocket knife without being labeled a terrorist

I am. I run cachyos which I run most of my steam games from. If I pirate something I do it in a VM to test it out, and if I like it then I buy it on steam/GOG.

The VM has very little performance loss either because they're just that good now or because I have a pretty good pc I'm not sure. I also run games like BanderLord in a VM so I can mod with vortex. (Yes the setup is very stupid, but it's a glass castle and I'm scared to move anything)

There are relatively few people who "crack" the games and the community around it is very verbal. Some people go deep on inspecting things, and if something gets found they're added to a list of untrusted sources. From what I've seen it's hard to get that trust back.

So yeah it's definitely a risk, but not a super dangerous one. Especially if you use Linux and a VM

Older pixel phones run relatively cheap if you don't mind having an older model. Mine was still locked by my ISP, but I used their insurance plan and they sent me an unlocked one lol

Right they can print the money to pay their debts..... What happens then? Inflation. Guess who's waiting there willing to help with that.

Literally the entire world exploits poor countries. They don't do anything with charitable intentions.
