Welcome! Fairly rare for this list, frustration, yes. I would not describe it as you do, though. When stuff just does not work you can spend endless time and effort getting nowhere or worse. My first install years ago (not Ubuntu then) was like total magic for me, I was simply amazed that it all seemed to work. It was wonderful. I later tried to get networking going with samba and it seemed like trying to walk through treacle. Even with some pretty patient help on forums, I failed. But I noticed that I was at a stage of early experience and the people kind enough to help, or with sufficient knowledge to help, seemed to be missing out some information. When I asked for the extra very basic details, they seemed a bit surprised..... I survived. I did however give up on samba mostly, until a good Ubuntu came along! -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
