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

    It depends on the software. If it’s audio real time stuff you need to run, a VM doesn’t help.

      Yeah, and also games often require a real install. I think aside from those types of scenarios, the safest, most efficient and convenient is a VM.
