Re: Lesser evil

If you really need it, go with what's best for it.

Today, to be honest, in your situation I'd run Windows, Linux will have
probably half the performance, and the "compromises" you cited.
Besides, you can also run Linux on Windows almost natively nowadays, so,
the choice is clear.

Install a good antivirus, try to be smart and you'll be fine (almost).
That's my 2 cents.
