Luckily at work we are allowed to install a dual boot, or even single boot with Linux. The one obligation is to run the corporate antivirus and vpn client (and yes we had malware detections of Linux binaries).
Dual booting for the last 6 months, now 100% on Linux (Mint). Can’t say I miss anything from windows, maybe ms office’s polished apps but I can’t care less. Nowadays everything runs in the browser, it has become « the OS ». And almost every browser is a chromium variant that’s it.
I hope it last, web enshitification may bring us back to the 2000s where that one site requires internet explorer, this one won’t allow DRM content on non windows platforms…

Malware for Linux exists, and has for a long time. It’s just not as omnipresent as windows malware, even adjusting for market share.
Also, often has different goals to windows malware
Yes they were mostly xmr miners, or reverse shell (pretty much like all those windows RAT)
Laughs in Linux

It’s just around the corner.
