Hello. I have always wanted to use Linux as my primary distro but; there are some complications prevented me doing this. And, I am seeking for your guidance for these complications.
In near future I will start studying for a Master's Degree and; you know there are some expensive software for specific academic/industrial fields. And, in my country, institutes generally use pirated versions of those softwares because of economical problems and they dictate the students to use them. I am not fan of it, but that is the bitter truth. Moreover, these softwares are generally only available for Windows operating systems so; I have to use Windows and it doesn't matter if I want or not. So, using double distro seems my only option.
I want to install both Windows and Linux distros to my harddrive but; I don't want neither Linux nor Windows to reach other distro's data. I want to separate my harddrive to two pieces with a "Great Wall of China", one half for Linux, other one for Windows. But; Windows will have pirated softwares in it and there will be an infection risk for using those pirated softwares. So; I don't want an infection in Windows to effect Linux. Linux half must always be infection-free. Is there a possibility to achieve something like this? If there is, how can it be achieved?
By the way I am sincerely against all kinds of piracy but; this matter is different.
Also I have an extra question. My android phone might be affected by some kind of spyware and maybe a ransomware. This is a low possibility but; I have OCD so; it drives me crazy. You know, android operating system is a Linux derivative. So; I have a concern. What if a spyware/ransomware in my android phone effect my Linux operating system? Is there a possibility?
If my english is not understandable enough, please tell me. I will try to rephrase.
