+1 (I agree), this is mostly because there is no single "Linux", every
GNU+Linux system distribution has different goals, different community
rules, views, software freedom status, and so on. It's like
clothing, some fit and some don't.
Perhaps even more to the point for somebody totally new to a 'nix.
With the various Windows OS's and with the Mac OS's the "operating
system" you get ONE "windows manager". When the users of that Windows OS
or Mac OS interact with their computer they see (interact with) that
"windows manager" and so see THAT as their operating system. But the
actual operating system is underneath that.
The typical linux (or unix) distribution offers a CHOICE of "windows
manager" (what you as the user interact with). I am not going to go into
how these differ except to point out that they all have their adherents,
sometimes fiercely partisan in favor of their preference (KDE, Gnome,
etc.). The distro you choose MAY come with one of these "as default" but
you shouldn't decide "I don't like linux" (should that be the case)
based upon JUST experiencing it through the mediation of that windows
manager. Before giving up on your linux install, try switching to a
different windows manager.
Likewise, when working at the command line (if you do) you also usually
get a choice of "shell language". Any of these, combined with the
standard 'nix library, constitute a powerful "string processing
language" << a computer language where the fundamental data type is
"string" >> Again, if you don't like the first you get, you can try
another << eg: I preferred "bash" >>

PS: I can't help with your linux. Been more than ten years since I last
used a 'nix (before the house fire)
