Your laptop costs more because it comes with Windows. It's not free.

I've lost orders of magnitude more time on windows, than on linux. (Embedded linux devices included in the math).

Windows: easy things are easy, normal things require some googling, hard things are impossible.

Linux: easy things are easy, normal things require some googling, hard things are hard.

Well, from my short experience with linux, easy things require googling on linux. I was trying to open a port to make remote desktop work. I classify that as easy.

You may be right, googling doesn't take much time though. A Linux system without internet is indeed barely usable. Thos man pages are absolutely unreadable.
