"Almost everything on Linux is easier to set up than on windows" has me rolling. This shit is exactly why people dismiss Linux as an option - linux enthusiasts refuse to accept the flaws in the OS, and that means those flaws never get addressed. God, or they've never had to deal with a driver incompatibility before, maybe they're just leading a charmed life...
And this is from someone that's daily driven Linux for well over a decade. Like it's a better option than windows, but it's not so great that there's not aspects that need to be improved.
It appears you have not installed any Windows from scratch in a long time, or tried to harden it, or solve a driver problem there. That's why you get confused. I was not saying Linux is always easy, I was saying it has overtaken Windows in almost every aspect, also because on Windows things have become more complex.
