Could be, but you might be ignoring for a second that this simple statement might come up with a steeped learning curve (learn a new OS, bash, a package manager, etc). And after all that *then* you will take a look to the stuff you want to learn in the first place. Now, as proper response to the OP: You can install RailsInstaller: http://railsinstaller.org/ It provides an out-of-the-box experience for you to start playing with Ruby and Rails. It bundles the initial components like Git and SQLite3, reducing the setup/configuration required for creating new applications. Watch the screencast in the website if you're still unconvinced.
