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.

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.
