Should I dual boot for Windows Mixed Reality for HP Reverb G2 (Linux Mint).

I want to switch to Linux for privacy and customisation, but I’m stuck with a VR headset that needs Windows… I’d essentially only be using the dual boot for VR games, and be on Linux 99% of the time. I’m worried about whether this defeats the privacy aspect of switching to Linux.

I’ve read that I can encrypt my drive, but I assume I’d have to mount it each time I log in to my PC?

I’ve tried looking for ways around WMR, but I can’t find anything. Is there no way to use HP Reverb G2 on Linux? Is a virtual machine too hard for this?
