No, it's irrational to think that you won't have to deal with the problems of two different OSes when you're running two different OSes.

There are people commenting on this post who actually do this thing, and are telling you that your irrational fears are unfounded. Experience beating “thinking” every day.

Yeah I’ve also done both. Have you?

My experience tells me absolutely 100% that separating them is better.

I’ve been using computers since the 80’s. How long have you been using them?

Well I am Welsh and in the 80s I was using the pride of Wales, the mighty Dragon 32. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?

Anyway nowadays my daily driver is Win10 with WSL. It really is as good as other posters have said.

I'm not sure how that's relevant.

I'm American and I've been running Windows since the 80s and Linux since the 90s, which are the OSes we're talking about.
