Linux, in my experience, has been way less painful to set up than Windows. It takes like 1/4 of the time, and I don't end up with half my shit in One Drive because I misclicked.
I'd agree with that when it works. When linux setup works its great, when it doesn't work getting it working again is obscure as hell, Windows almost always sets up correctly first time but its obscure as hell to not make it be kind of shitty.
