I use my Debian desktop for both work and personal uses. I have trouble with work-life balance, and I think segregating may help. I'm looking for tips on the best ways to accomplish this.

First thought is to create a user each for work and play, but I guess I'd want to somehow restrict applications to one or the other, and I do use some of the same. (Browser, IDE)

Second thought is to dual boot with an entirely unrelated install.

Is there a better way that I haven't thought of?

duuuuuude you need to airgap that shit.

ive got an isolated vlan with its own access point only accessed by my work laptop

That's not an air gap. "VLAN" already implies you have a direct physical connection between the networks, and "access point" implies you are using wireless LAN on top which is the literal opposite of an air gap.
