my problem with linux is not the OSes, it's development done on programs that i use with linux.  some of these guys are screwballs, still developing older versions of things while also newer versions are coming out.  that's chaos.

I'm not a fan of a gui in linux; i prefer cli.

Regarding windows, i think that's pretty damn easy to run despite the fact that they keep hiding things away in the UI.
