I use Windows as my main OS. In Windows 10 and 11, there is a feature called Unified Write Filter that essentially resets your computer after every reboot. When I first got my laptop, I installed a fresh copy of Windows 10, installed all my commonly used applications, configured all my settings, and then enabled UWF. On every reboot, it goes back to this clean snapshot, no matter what I do - And reboots are quick too (~10 seconds). I'm never worried about making changes to my laptop to try them out (installing a new program, configuring obscure settings, etc). If I don't like it, I can get back to my clean state with a simple reboot. Still vulnerable to BIOS-level malware though, I suppose.
