I can agree with that assessment. Every time I've installed some flavor of Linux, I've gotten frustrated with getting simple things to work the way I'd expect on a Windows box, and given up relatively quickly.
When I say simple things, I mean things like Divx/MKV video playback. Is it hard to get it working? No, of course not. Does it work out of the box? No. Is it as simple as it is under Windows? Hell no.
Of course, I happen to think the way OSX does application installation (outside of the app store) is a bit ass-backwards too.
