    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

          Honestly I know nothing about security, I just wanted to say a funny thing.

          I think a VM would work for most cases? There are ways for Malware to escape from VMs.

          Similar thing would probably be a consideration with a live media boot, as Malware could infect another OS on the machine.

          Windows VM - even as hypervisor 1 - could leak any data. You need a revisited OS and kernel to be safe.

          Edit: Once you accessed your network your firmware could possibly track everything as well. But nobody knows. Once I heard that the intel firmware has more LoC then the linux kernel (which is the most collaborated human project ever in existence).

        They’re clearly asking about performance not security

          Performance wise every modern distro should be able to handle multiple video streams provided your pc has the resources.

          Probably would also be doable off the live media?

            I imagine there’d be a performance penalty if using a flash drive for the OS. Not sure though.

              Only boot performance if you have enough RAM. Linux’ pagecache can be quite agressive. I think with 4GB there won’t be evicted pages, but with 8GB there won’t for sure.
