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.

    I allways promise myself to be better and not do stupid things, experience thought me that that only works 95%. I like a plan B, even if it does not work; at least I tried.

      Here’s an easy plan B for you: laptop locks are dirt cheap. You know the ones that go around a table leg and lock with a key to the slot in the side of the laptop? They weigh 50 grams and cost less than 10 bucks. Sure they’re easy to bypass in concept, just lift the table, but that’s making a commotion and a thief doesn’t want that.

        That’s actually a good plan. after a “downgrade” fom macbook to thinkbook I do have a lock connector.

          I’ll be tieing it around a tree instead of a table leg. But hell yea! thinkbooks have lock connectors!
          And it’s only a downgrade because i cheaped out and bought what I needed instead of top perf.
