What's the best dual boot theft recovery? (edit: was: honeypot) (kbin.social)

The idea is that is that I have a dual boot linux/windows.
Where linux is secure and encrypted, and windows is the honeypot.

windows is the default boot option.

edit 2:
I titled this wrong and I worded it wrong, i'll try again later.
Next time : Murphy's law allways wins, assume my laptop will get stolen. And i want to recover it remotely.

I'm not changing my behaviour, I already lowered the likelyhood of theft by switching my macbook for a secondhand thinkbook.

This is along the lines of the old TrueCrypt hidden partition

You boot into the HD lock and one password unlock Linux another windows

I’ve not done that in a while. Now VeraCrypt Here’s the link

Id think that a windows laptop and then boot to a Linux VM or boot off an usb to Linux if you’re getting crazy with the cheezwhiz
