Maybe... Windows doesn't understand Linux filesystems by default, but Linux does understand Windows. So it's theoretically possible to pick up a Linux virus that delivers a windows payload over to your windows files, but that sounds crazy unlikely unless you're operating a nuclear facility for enriching uranium.
Technically having only one OS is more secure, so if you simply want peace of mind for online banking, find a cheap laptop and put Ubunto on it. Don't waste brain power trying to get every little driver working. I've done something similar for cryptocurrency.
Dual booting is OK as well if you want to reuse the machine for other Windows things, even if it is theoretically a little less secure.
You could also experiment, test the waters, with a virtual machine using https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox This won't protect you against keyloggers, but it will soundly defeat run of the mill malware and viruses |
