Tell me what games you want to play and whatever doesn't already work, I'll get it working for you. Just got battlefield 2 running properly, now I'm whipping up a howto on it.

That's not a very strong argument. The installation menu on Ubuntu is incredibly simple. It breaks down like this:
You click Add/Remove Programs (in the Applications menu, where it makes sense!)
You type in what you're looking for (such as "office" or "ipod" or "email")
You click the little checkbox for whichever programs look like they suit your needs the best (you get a description if you click on the name of the program)
You click OK.
Ubuntu automatically goes and gets EVERYTHING that's needed, without asking you anything else (unless you're logged in as a normal user, in which case it asks for your password).
You open the Applications menu again, and surprisingly (if you're used to windows, it's a surprise, anyway) whatever programs you wanted are there! wow!
So, what exactly is a pain in the ass?

Ubuntu is easy to use, quick and efficient. However if you are very entrenched in Windows usage, you can have a hard time navigating through to get what you need. But it is very simple, and there is almost no learning curve.

Agreed Ubuntu is very simple to use, much like windows was DOS for idiots Ubuntu is linux for idiots.
