Linux is not more secure really, it's just assumed to be so because it's less widely attacked for having less market share

Nah, you have a user, it cannot mess with another user, by design.

In windows you can do so many crappy things it's incredible, like rescue boot and just change the crowd strike executables with a notepad++ exe aaand you are "free!"

The security holes ae trash too, you can't deny that. Corporate PCs are plagued with "anti virus" and other scanning softs, sending your every keystroke to some authentication server so see if no malicious intent is detected.

If you want to do something efficient, Windows is no longer the way IMO.
