Just install Linux, dual booting will work great unless you’re still on some ancient machine with an MBR based Windows install. I use it on my laptop and desktop. I even have a PostmarketOS tablet lying around but the battery is dead.
I have no idea what you mean by “two OSs”. Do you mean the virtualisation based security protections added to Windows 11? Normal Linux and the BSDs don’t have that, but the locked down QubesOS Linux distro actually bases its entire security model around that concept.
OneDrive is iCloud for Windows users. I’m not sure what security iCloud is supposed to add, but even if you choose to encrypt it, the security key gets sent to Apple along with the files.
Windows is sure getting shitter by the day, but in a usability level and a technical level it’s behind in Linux for the vast majority of people. Just look at what Valve had to do to make the Steam Deck usable by normal people: completely lock out the system partition and start the thing in a bare basics console layout.
Linux is getting better every year and Windows is getting worse, but the two haven’t intersected yet, unless you’re into compiling your own kernel. Linux does have better privacy, but the vast majority of users care more about “can I play CoD online” and “does this run Microsoft Word” than “does Microsoft know how often I click the start button”
