If you're not doing anything sensitive I wouldn't worry about it. Also you're running from windows as a host right? It's already backdoored so using QEMU over VirtualBox doesn't really decrease your attack surface you're just adding more friction to an already daunting task. I'd stick with what you have for now and get comfy there.

Ok thank you, I think I will 🤣

But it's good to know and once I get fully transferred to Linux I'll make sure to use QEMU if I start a similar process because then it'll really be CIA-free 😎

When your Linux skills improve you can use wiki.debian.org/KVM to install KVM/QEMU VMs. They'll perform way better than virtual box while being more secure and once set up be pretty easy to use with a GUI like AQEMU or virt-manager (guide explains both).
