If using the Bitcoin Core wallet, is the wallet password the only thing encrypting the wallet file, or is there more to it than that?

How dangerous is it to use a Bitcoin core wallet on a windows laptop, alongside apps, games internet browsers, etc?
I wouldn’t do it
I wouldn't do it for more than pocket money. But I want to understand how the wallet file is protected, from a technical point of view
Hey, I’m not that good, but I have a friend that might shed some light on this nostr:npub18ru6qhq7rzqyzz5fjsexlreygh40ytum9dkp85hsjxxej6velszq39wph9
Depends the purpose you are using it for. Rule of thumb:
You need small amounts available for whatever reason. In case these funds are lost and you won't fall in despair then it's okay.
If it is your stack that you want to save for years it shouldn't even be on any computer anyways. Look into cold storage options.
Yeah, I agree about the use case.
I was curious specifically about the technical question of how the wallet file is encrypted.
