Thank you for being rational here. It drives me bonkers how many people try to act like Linux is "just as easy" as windows. Like, yeah, to some degree it's getting used to the differences, but there are definitely considerations and complexities that you simply don't have to worry about with a windows machine.

As a relatively recent convert, I can say it was easier than I was expecting, but it was not "just as easy" as installing windows. It took more time to set up all the extra bits I needed/wanted, and I'm still not fully set up the way I'd like to be.
