Plex or Jellyfin might be what you’re after.

Yeah, this would make sense. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few “piracy repos” you could add to your package manager. I’ve never thought to look haha.

I mean, you kind of just described two things that are specifically hard to get working properly on Linux in general - MS Office and the Adobe suite. You’re better off using FOSS alternatives, like LibreOffice and Krita or GIMP. Otherwise, you’ll need something like Lutris as a Wine frontend to install Windows apps - and at that point, you might as well just install stock Linux, get qBittorrent going, pirate what you want, and install as needed. Plus, I don’t think I’d trust the security of a modified version of Linux for piracy. That’s just asking to be exploited.

I was on µTorrent for a long time on a really old build (like 2.2.1) because it got even more bloated and crappy with every new release, especially over 3.0. I realized, aside from missing new features and stuff, it was probably a security risk being that far behind. I made the switch to qBittorrent and never looked back. It basically took everything I liked about that old style build of µTorrent and brought it into modern times.

Mostly FOSS these days. There’s just so many options now. There’s a few things I have from the old days as I’ve updated from Windows 7 through 10 over the years.
