Honestly why did you even try it? The fact there are different versions and that there is no universal standard, and the power the command line gives the user is literally the foundation of Linux.
If those are your reasons for not liking it you did this to yourself mate. I don't go watch football if I don't like football. I don't drink coffee if I don't like coffee.
I flipped around a few different distros to try them out.
As it currently stands IMO Linux won't be taking market share from Windows.
I actually think the best use case for Linux is for the very old. People that want their computer to work and never change. They only need a browser and a word processor and email. I considered setting up Mint for my mum's PC just so its a consistent and solid experience forever.
She likes playing the Windows card games though with the score board so it ruled it out.
