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????

I think most common is phishing attacks, scammers, and then shady downloads.

Less common is probably dependency attacks, xss, and exploiting servers in the traditional way, and probably a bunch of other attack vectors.
