my logic

1. I shouldn't have to spend a bunch of time on forums and special case downloads/ installs to run/setup my pc.

2. When windows slows down that means you need better precautions. Some of which I can't tell you to do on this site, but, as someone who fixes/cleans pc's on the side, it always is due to the user.

my experince

1. Linux OS installations are faster and easier than Windows.  Linux Driver installations are faster and easier than Windows.  Linux Program installations are afster and easier than Windows.  The difference is that you are used to Windows, and not used to Linux.  If you don't have the time or desire to change, I can respect that.

2. The user is typically the reason that Windows PCs slow down.  That being said: Linux checks the filesystem itself, does not need defragmentation, and is 99% immune to viruses. (I know that Linux can get viruses, but I have never gotten one).  Once I think about it, there is not one thing the user has to do for regular Linux maintenance.
