Relying on user discipline for forward secrecy is poor security design.

Air-gap reduces risk but doesn't eliminate it.
USB malwares and electromagnetic side-channels still apply.

Moreover windowz closed-source firmware and telemetry
add unnecessary attack surface compared to minimal Linux deployments.

Better isolation: 
Debian/Proxmox VM LXC container (Alpine Linux) with no
default gateway—network-level air-gap, minimal attack surface, no telemetry,auditable stack. 

For high-threat scenarios, ephemeral keypairs (one-time use,
wiped after) should be default, not user-optional.
