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.

I dont think honeypot is the right term here, the only situation i can see something like this being at all useful is for a border search where you have to unlock your computer to be searched, in which case you'll need to actually hide the fact that there is a second partition at all, my suggestion would be get a laptop that can support 2 internal drives, unplug one before you travel and have the second one be a generic windows install with some stuff to make it look used.

I like to be careless about my posessions, border control is the least of my worries.
yes i should have titled this better.
