If whatever programs you need don't require internet access and you aren't at risk of evil maid attacks then it hardly matters if win10 isn't secure. It definitely isn't ideal, but if the options are:

A) Do all your personal stuff on linux and only boot w10 when you have to, offline.

B) Only have w10 and run hope.exe for security.

I'd choose A.

Fuck dual booting. Virtualize that shit.

Or that, but I'm told some things don't play well in VMs like arcane peripherals.
