but if you have a ton of ram ?

Windows:

Pros: You have always available GUI
Cons: Uses more ram and is less stable

Linux:

Pros: GUI is still an option, though if you want to do stuff efficiently welcome to terminal. Less memory usage, a lot more stable.
Cons: Require some experience since it's not as user-friendly as Windows.

Imo nothing bad about learning a bit of ubuntu is a quite cool OS, fun to use and it seems harder than it is. I had to learn to operate l2j on ubuntu in a mater of days and i succeeded.
