You can use Linux and TailOS
Tails OS isn't really convenient to use as a daily wallet, especially if OP needs to reboot to use it.
I did installed Linux Mint METE Mate. But didn't found it comfortable at first. So I had revert back to Windows. Especially the UI, how it looked, appeared. The interface, font looked like breaking, not smooth, pixels.
FTFY

The great thing about Linux is the many options you get: if you don't like one interface, try another. I'm not sure what you mean with "breaking font" though.
I was thinking about duel booting but unfortunately I don't have enough space to run both OS. Only 240GB SSD.
Luckily, SSDs are very cheap nowadays

Or even spare laptops, I was actually tempted recently when I saw an offer for 12 business laptops (i5, 8 GB, SSD, about $500 in total). That would mean no more virtualization, and just a dedicated laptop for every wallet I have

But I didn't want the hassle of installing and updating that many devices.
Yes, most probably I got infected using a crack version Driver updater. Since I had to fresh install everything.
Cracked drivers? The things Windows users do

It's not that bad either. Most of the time it would detect malwares.
This sounds like
terrible "security".
I have a bad habit of changing distros. Not just Windows or Linux, also Android. Since I am a custom ROM user. I frequently change my OS, to test out new features and bugs etc.
Why would you test all that on the same device? Get one system for serious tasks, and another one to mess around with.
(I made a lot of quotes to multiple users. Is it ok though to quote this much?
Yes.
I don't know if USB sticks are capable enough to run this OS for a longer period of time.
Some are, some aren't. I've had USB sticks die after a few writes, and I've had sticks that last forever. To run your OS though, you'll need a fast and reliable one. Rule of thumb: don't go for the cheap sticks.
Not saying it's bad, it's just not reliable.
It's a feature, not a bug.
AFAIK, Windoes does have a similar feature as TailsOS.
No, it does not.
There will always some things that you'll miss when using Linux.
Nope. Once you're used to it, there's no reason to go back. But it takes a while to get used to, just like it took you a while to get used to what you're currently used to.
by that I mean a really new one from the store, not a used one.
I think I share my love for old laptops with philipma1957 by now. And with "old", I mean at least 8 GB RAM and SSD. Wipe the laptop and install your own software.
I guess it depends on where you live though: here, corporate laptops are replaced every few years, which makes them cheap and abundant on the second hand market. You can find a decent laptop for less money than a new hardware wallet.
