I am not a Windows hater, I was using it all the time. But when sound drivers have key loggers, and Win10 is sending keystrokes into log files back to Microsoft, it requires a good piece of knowledge, to secure the OS at an appropriate level. By default installation this system is insecure, and a good entrance door to remote attacks. (Compare this to OpenBSD).

I´ll add another reason why using a different OS than Windows is a
good idea.
Malware developers obviously develop viruses and keyloggers for the OS that most
people use, because this increases the number of potential victims.
Therefore I´d estimate that 99 % of malware is targeting Windows and
simply by using an alternative OS you are decreasing the risk of running
your Bitcoin wallet on a malware-infested computer.
Besides, most Linux distributions nowadays are comparable in usability to Windows
or even have better usability. The huge advantages in terms of security make switching to
Linux (or other OS like OpenBSD) a no-brainer.
In your opinion, any particular flavor of Linux or even Ubuntu is a better option than Windows or MacOS? I used to have a dual boot on my older Acer laptop back in the day but haven't felt the need to on Macbook
