Tools? It took 2-3 hours of reading howtows, tweaking and experimenting before getting Win8 in a "workable" state on a computer without touchscreen. Its like Linux backwards: to make the system work have to go backwards, disable every single "new" feature! If you wanna automate something, good luck, with that... Are you going to launch a VM to run a ruby or py script??? Docker support came last to windows and many nice tools dont run on windows at all.

Windows make sense to me if you wanna do specific things but a dev/admin OS outside the MS ecosystem is a awful.

Last time I installed linux from scratch (ubuntu 13.10), which was about two years ago, it took me an entire day to figure out how to get a screen resolution that didn't immediately give me a headache, and the only way I fixed the issue of "trying to display a particular font crashes the entire x server" was to upgrade to 14.04.
