Well, security doesn't matter for a media device like that. The exposure is so minimal that it might as well not exist.

Hell, considering I really only use it to pirate shit maybe once a month nowadays, my main desktop PC isn't even on enough to matter; I could keep any old OS on it.

If it is connected to your router it’s a point of ingress.

The risk of getting a attack via the router is very low these days

Why not run a minimal distribution like Alpine if you're just torrenting?

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
