OK, I installed Bitcoin using an advanced geeky Linux method, so I got it. Thanks for your suggestions though.

Bitcoin core works well on Linux.  I guess downloading the blockchain would be the issue.  I haven't re-installed it recently, but last time it took about a day to catch up with the blockchain with my internet connection.

use torrent, it is lots and lots of data to fetch:

Right now I have the Windows wallet and I also have a Linux laptop that I'd like to have Bitcoin on for convenience. I see there's a few options I could try. What's a good pick?

All those common wallets like Bitcoin core, Multibit, Electrum, Armory, have a Linux version as well. So you could just use the same wallet clinet on your laptop as the one you use on your windows pc.
