Yes but we are talking about security and the risk of cross contamination. Would you really set up a VM and download risky files on the exact same Linux machine that holds all your personal data? I wouldn’t.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I’m not a native speaker either. I mentioned his writing to point out he is literally a kid, not to mock his grammar. You can look at his account and see his posts
You want to “lead him to Linux” but he clearly just wants to pirate stuff and we all know this community will mock him the second he breaks his system
Instead of naively thinking about how this elitist community will “nourish” him, it would be infinitely more useful to teach him about attack surfaces and keeping personal data off a risky system entirely
OP is the kind of user who used Tails on his own computer to log into his Gmail account. He has grammar issues and thinks Linux is this hacker OS that makes you anonymous and impossible to hack
Let’s be real, do you think this is the best thing for OP who is presumably a child?
It’s best to start using different OSs for different things assuming that no single OS is truly safe
You can just use a VM and an antivirus on Windows. Linux isn’t really necessary for your scenario
That is exactly the point. You want to create a psychological boundary, you treat it as a disposable system so you never put any valuable data on it in the first place
