therein lies a possibly false assumption.
my experience is that Linux can be eminently more frustrating than
Windows. however, it is also eminently more rewarding as well. :)
to me, using UNIX is like godhood, compared to using DOS. however,
in order to be a god; you need to learn all the 'god tools'; like virtual
consoles, background processes, ps, perl, shell scripts, and man pages.
that said, I'm still learning about all these things myself, and I
expect that nearly everyone else here is as well. :)
Linux offers a whole universe of possibilities; but it can offer a whole
universe of frustration as well. hang around here and we'll help you deal
with the frustration, and show you all the possibilities. :)
