Hard...? 
Well, it depends. In the beginning, it usually is.

BTW, my window manager now defaulted to Ice, and users other than root
will have gdm and no more.
I believe that I'm quite familiar with Linux, but problems (which I
don't know how to solve yet) arise oftentimes. But those problems
usually are due to misconfigured systems (as opposed to operating system
crashes) or because I touch things here and there.

Well, it's up to you. But using Linux, you'd have things to talk about
:-)
