Good question. Never use Windows when managing Bitcoin! Or Mac for that matter. Use a clean install of a good well maintained Linux OS. I use NixOS. If you are super paranoid, then use QubesOS.

Good point. I was not aware of this website. As most noobs will use Window or Mac to manage their bitcoin, thus would need a hardware wallet to prevent those attacks from happening on their computer.
At that same time, if one knows how to use Linux well, has good computer practices, copy and pastes their passphrases and seed words, and keeps their seed words and passphrases off their computers, they will be fine. After all, you still do have to trust the hardware manufacture a bit (even though the hardware and software is open source). Also, a hardware wallet does add a bit more complexity to keeping your coins safe. But, yes, having a hardware wallet cuts down on many vulnerability points as compared to a computer.
