You could also "virtualize" the different tasks that you do by merely using a distro like Linux Mint as your base OS + VirtualBox. The base OS should NOT be used for anything else except to run your VMs to avoid it getting infected with malware and being exploited.
Isn't Qubes OS more suited if you want to virtualize everything?
I was merely suggesting an option if a user doesn't have the hardware requirements to run Qubes, or if someone is new to Linux. Linux Mint + VirtualBox + Lubuntu VMs are probably simpler, and perhaps it's easier to find resources if the user needs to troubleshoot or has unexpected problems with the set up.

That works very well too 
Well enough for a not very technical pleb like me. Haha.
