1. Ease of use I can give you. That being said, Linux for me is way easier to use than OS X or Windows so I think that's relative.
2. I'm sorry but I really can't agree with you at all about stability. Linux is incredibly stable, especially on a laptop designed for Linux. Linux on a MacBook, sure, it's awful. A Network manager update completely stopped my ability to connect to the internet and I had to downgrade it and prevent it from updating for a bit.
On my XPS? Not a single issue, and I'm on an "unstable" distribution.
I think that if there isn't some software that you absolutely need that has no Linux alternative then you should really give it a shot.
