...either that or you made the fatal mistake of thinking Linux is a
*replacement* for Windows when in fact it's a very different *alternative*.

You have to *learn* to use Linux just like you learnt to use Windows. If you
won't or can't then stay with Windows.

I repeat: Linux is not a *replacement* for Windows, it's a very different
*alternative*.

Obviously not much in your case.
Come back when you have a clue about Linux.
