Honestly, Linux is not hard. If you're any sort of a power user, and especially if you're doing any programming, you're really doing yourself a disservice if you don't know at least some linux.
I can't imagine being a Windows-only dev. The *nix/*bsd commandline tools are just so insanely powerful.
Just use basic Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Just keep in mind that instead of downloading random .exe's from the internet that there is an "app store" that manages the software for you (just search and click the one you want)

It can't get much easier than installing Ubuntu.
