ARch linux modded. hum... like the design except the icons on desktop. CENTRAL menu, is the future. left desktop menus are 90's things. is horrible.
I don't know what I'm more worried about: downloading a windows ISO, completely hijacked by people I'll probably never see in my life, and which could simply suck up and steal all my sensitive data when it's used....
or microsoft basically DOING THE SAME THING with windows 11 LOL
First of all, there is a 3rd option, Dont download anything, learn how to create your own ISO, and have only yourself to trust.,.. or blame.
Now you are a new member and I don't mind hesitation and critical thinking as long as it's based on facts and not tin foil hats.
No one here, cares to steal your "sensitive" info. Right now there are so many fail-safes that even if you write here in public your credit card number, nothing really will happen, and personally speaking, and I know I speak for others too, no one here cares about personal documents or photos. We don't know you, we are probably not even on the same continent, let alone country or region. Can't talk about MS tho, but logic dictates that more likely a trillion-dollar company doesn't have a need for your bank account, nor they would risk a lawsuit doing it... Just food for thought.
Now you can use your logic and see that you are on a site with 800 000+ members, that almost all of us as a community not just share software, but help each other with problems, give advice, and inform. Now if we were stealing info as you say, we wouldn't be here for as long as we do (2016) and we wouldn't grow our numbers the way we do. On the web, word gets around easily and reputations are easy to be destroyed. You could also have spent a while browsing before you expressed your opinion, and you would have seen that we also have a lot of fail-safes to prevent anyone from the admins to the newest member that just joined, from spreading malicious software. We always request Virus total scans for example, in all our posts and you can also perform a scan once you download to see if the results match. Dont know a lot of scammers that use virus total to spread malicious hacks. For that same reason, we don't accept anything else than Bitcoin or Paypal for our VIP program that many use without issues,
You can also easily test anything you download in a VM with fake info, to be further reassured.
Now it's up to you to decide If you choose something or not, no one is forcing anyone here, but if you have more such questions, we have a help section that you are welcome to use and not a celebration thread of a gift we give to our members due to Xmas.
Thank you and welcome to our site.
