It depends on how simple. If all you wanna do is watch videos, type stuff up, and do email stuff, it's easy. But if you wanna do something still simple but slightly less so, like plug in two microphones at once, or install a free lightweight game, or record your screen and then edit what you recorded to show someone how to do something, or edit audio beyond what is easy in Audacity, etc, it becomes annoying and complicated and nothing works without hacks and workarounds for every step of the process.
