Distributions provide trusted open source software. That's opposite from Windows where basic system tools are not included, found in Web as shareware, could contain viruses.

I was uneasy about Ubuntu PPA, that's binaries from unknown source. I prefer AUR, it provides packaging instructions but source trusted by user.

Linux issues possible to investigate, search brings grounded instructions. Windows is closed source, "solutions" is guesswork.

Linux distributions build experiences, maybe there is already group of people like you, issues solved.
