I put Windows back into one system so that my son could play some old games from his sister's youth and he picked up the same virus twice in four weeks. I won't let him go online in Windows.

I wonder if you are more vulnerable to windows viruses if you duel boot (because you are reaching across the partitions to get things) or if you use Wine (it might run a windows virus)

Absolutely. The Linux system turned out to be much better and easier
than I expected when I first got into it. The power is awesome.
The majority does not know what they are missing.
