Linux will annoy you due to honest-to-God bugs, misconfigurations, or other genuine mistakes. The authors of the software would like it to work effortlessly and they're trying their best, they just didn't quite get there. As a developer, I can sympathize and put up with the occasional afternoon spent hunting down firmware patches or whatever. Windows >= 8 will intentionally annoy you because Microsoft is trying to squeeze as much money and data as they can from you. It is a truly hostile piece of software and I resent each single minute spent trying to turn off the malware far more than I do all the hours spent clashing with the Linux bluetooth stack or whatever.
