I've tried linux several times. As a non-tech guy, I find it utterly frustrating. It's so intensely user-unfriendly, I am done with wasting my time on it.
It is user friendly, just picky, who it's friends are ;-)
More seriously though, you are probably bringing assumptions, that are specific to your current OS, and frustrated, that your existing experience is not 100% transferable. This works both ways; if you tried to switch from linux to your current OS, you would be also frustrated by this.
Have you tried the easy to use distros like mint or elementary?
