> I don't run a Linux desktop because I'm not a masochist
Just run Ubuntu, like I do. Almost as easy to maintain as Windows.
Anyway, with Emacs as your OS, whether Linux or Windows is your bootloader is of secondary concern ;).

I feel that people who criticize the platform have yet to try it...
Though to be fair, if your are running Photoshop or final cut Linux is not a great use case
So clearly no one else has issues, right? None of the people complaining about poor power management, insane application deployment model, poor support for high-end GPUs, general fragmentation, poor backwards and forwards compatibility, or any of the other innumerable problems have ever tried a Linux desktop.
This attitude of "it works for me, therefore it is good enough for everybody" is one of the biggest problems I have with Linux. It isn't so much that there are flaws, it's that the community refuses to recognize that there are flaws.
Doesn't actually solve any of the problems I have with Linux as a Desktop. And if I listed those problems someone would just tell me to use a different distribution, which is itself a problem. Or alternatively try to convince me they aren't actually problems "for most people" as though I should give a damn what is and isn't a problem for someone else.
