That's always so easy to say, isn't it?
Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there's no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.
The software and hardware I'm using won't work on Linux.
And that's the part that everyone ignores. They'll say open a VM or use wine or there's an open source alternative. But if I'm going to run native Linux just to open a windows VM to run the primary software I use, what's the point? I'm not bashing on either side. I use Windows when I need and, and go back to Linux when I'm finished, but that's because that's the solution that works for me.
