Pirated and OS software are different things, obviously. But would you prefer one over the other? I'm thinking of switching to both OS software AND pirated software. Just want opinions and tips from this community.

OS is nice in that it's not going to turn around and do something malicious. Pirated proprietary software both can and has a stronger-than-usual motive to.
