Hello there,

I have a question. If I’m doing windows linux dual boot, is there any possibiliy that windows can spy my data on linux? Or: if i got ransomwared on windows, is my linux part of my pc safe or not?

How can I prevent all above?

Thx

    I tried to dual boot for a while but it was just not worth the hassle as Windows always broke something and after almost every update I had to try and fix my Linux install. Windows is basically malware at this point.

      I use KVM and put Windows in a VM for those things that it still is needed for. Don’t use it much these days. Dual booting was just too difficult.

        That’s a sensible approach. I used to need Windows for one particular program that I couldn’t get to run on Linux and i also put it in a VM. Luckily I’ve found a replacement since.
