From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

im not allowed t mess with the home network (its not mine)
Let's step back actually.
framework qubes xen hypervizor 3 or 4 stolen pii by hackers and companies and having to replae every device
If you've already got Qubes and Xen Hypervisor running, your technical level is high enough for sure. And honestly, your security is already probably good enough.
Qubes has very secure defaults, I don't think you need to do anything else, honestly what you have already might be overkill, but idk your use case.
Make sure you can't see your torrent/download machine VM from any other devices on your network. Use Nmap as long as it's your network. Don't use it on a corporate or university network, it will likely get your device totally locked out and you in big trouble.
