I'm not saying that my Linux installation was super easy to set up, but once set up, I've had fewer problems than Windows.

I for one do miss my system restarting in the middle of some work to apply an update.

You can do that in Linux too! Just put an entry in crontab to reboot the system sometime during your working hours.

I just installed Linux the other week and it WAS super easy to set up for me. I was really surprised but everything just worked

The hardest part was getting my Windows-only games to play properly in Linux. Rocket League was relatively easy, but Skyrim was a real pain to get working. But now that Skyrim is working, it strangely feels either the same or slightly better than it does in Windows.

That's been my experience too. I've been pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to game on Linux. There have been some games where I had some issues, but the same could be said for Windows too. I think the gaming specific aspect is roughly equal between the two operating systems.

The nice thing about Linux though is that when it does go wrong, I am better equipped with the information and tools to be able to effectively troubleshoot and fix the problem. At least, in theory — I am still learning, so I often find myself wading through logs that I don't understand, with little progress. It does at least feel more empowering though, to have the abstract option of being able to fix my problem, even if I am not able to grasp that opportunity in practice.

Easier than installing and setting up Windows in my experience
