Installing linux. If you are in a more comfortable environment you will be better at working

I've found windows to be much simpler for many things.

Often the case of just installing an application from an installer.

And there's WSL for when you want Linux.

I don't see how an installer is easier than typing a single command to get something from a package manager.

Because it often isn't a single command.

I think the second part of the comment is what's important:

If you are in a more comfortable environment you will be better at working

Maybe that is windows for you. I have barely ever used windows, so the concept of searching for installers online and running them just seems clunky and time consuming to me. It's just not what I'm used to.

However if you are willing to learn multiple systems, you might find that one is better than the others.
