That said, the various Linux distribution folks are working on making
it easier, adding lots of graphical interface stuff to automate setup
and such. You're probably right that they haven't gotten it
completely right yet.
What is safe to say is that if you expect Linux to be like Windows,
you should stick with Windows cuz it will never be. Linux is a
multi-user, multi-tasking operating system that is lean and mean and
definitely puts more power on your desktop. The price you pay is the
need to learn/know a lot more about your computer than you have while
running Windows. You must decide whether you want the power and
freedom that Linux provides and are willing to expend the effort
(significant) to learn it.
