Windows is just simple, if not a bit rigid, and I don't have to spend all day trying to figure out how to make some obscure piece of hardware play nice with the OS, or how to make some crappy video format to convert to another one without compiling a program that's not in the repository, and I have no clue whether or not it will actually run on the version of Linux i'm running.

Uhh...
sudo apt-get install firefox
I'm not really sure what your point was. Installing programs that are already in the repo is easy. No searching for exe's. No sifting through "Free trial" or "Shareware" crap.
If it's not in to repo, there is probably a .deb, or at least an install.sh (Like exe) on the developers site.
BTW, I use linux. I've been a registered linux user for nearly 4 years.
