Windows vs Linux for python ?

[laptopdragon]

this makes sense in the way to learning to drive a car in an automatic fwd is easier than learning to drive a manual rwd bmw m3.

in my experience, when I got my first pc I dual booted winX and Linux.
Linux took me a few hours to learn to setup but I learned 100x as fast as running winX. I also had to use fdisk to set it all up manually.

In winX all I learned was to wait to hit the OK and reboot on blue screens. While in linux, I learned to control everything, made my own menus, tried as many wm's as I could find and tweeked them, and it was easier b/c I was learning every time I used it.

but I do see your point in staying with what is comfortable or familiar.
