Linux tends to tempt people to spend time configuring it, but most of that is customisation to taste that Windows users very rarely do.

You can just skip it and use everything with the distro defaults. it many even be less work than Windows as a lot more software is installed by default on installation.

I used to configure Windows, now I don't bother. But with Linux, I do because I must. Many OOTB defaults just aren't great, or some part of it requires configuration.

LoD is _fine_ but not great.

(Slackware 4.0 was great)
