So, among all different kinds of OSes in the market, which one seems to be more efficient or in other terms, less troublesome for newbies?

Zcash is Asics, mining with a GPU and an OS isn’t worth it, but if you want to, the choice is between Windows or Linux.  
Both have their advantages, Linux for the more experienced ones.  
But in this regard, Google is also your best friend, there are enough guides out there to get you started,  
but if mining Zcash with a GPU is smart, that’s alll up to you 🙂
