The only caveat I'd like to say, I think we shouldnt assume every user isnt a VIP.

I'm not a VIP, but I have some huge huge huge secrets that are worth at least a million dollars, maybe 10s of millions of dollars, that I need to access with a computer.

Malware means potentially losing millions or tens of millions of dollars. I'm so afraid of those secrets, I don't even access them on my windows computers unless necessary.

I'd love to be comfortable doing this, but given anyone can seemingly make a python keylogger, I'm not really comfortable using my computer(windows or linux) for this purpose. Gaming/updating my website/etc... all of that, who cares if I'm hacked, I got backups. I just havent found a great way to keep secrets that need to go online.

I'd recommend not taking any security advice from internet forums at all if millions are on the line, regardless of OS. I'd hire a professional to harden the computer I want to use for that and wouldn't use it for anything else. An apple device would probably be my go-to there over any Linux system.
