You can't just wake up from Windows world and become a master of another
environment; Windows will learn you some lessons but not the right ones
(no, it's not normal to reboot that often; no, you don't have to
reinstall from scratch every 6 months; no, you CAN run many applications
and one will not crash another; no, ...).  You should give yourself some
time.  This is advanced stuff (more advanced than you'd find in an
"advanced" tab anyway).  I agree with you that it's not for everyone;
but then, are you the 'average folk'? :)

You will.  You just need some time.
