<…> That way you can make individual powerful passwords and keep them in a txt file without putting them in risk.
But having them on a txt file on the actual drive, even on linux, may still encounter the odd malware that you can install through a wallet downloaded from a wrong site. What’s more, even if isolating the computer as much as possible will mitigate risks, there’s still the risk that someone grabs/steals your physical computer, and mounts the linux disk as a secondary device to access the content, gaining access the txt file.
