Either you misconfigured it, or there's more to the story.
You have to give permission when you install applications -- if you close the installer every time, well, there you go, it's going to keep asking. If you really don't like that, there are ways around it; not recommended, but easily doable.
A day and a half with Ubuntu, most spent setting it up. Versus a lifetime of familiarity with Windows.

My best guess is that the main problem was with the graphics card. Ubuntu chose the drivers and the Linux software to use. There may be better drivers out there. But I have other things to do.
"Either you misconfigured it, or there's more to the story."
I just let it configure itself. As I said, that was the best part. I wanted to test it as it came. Adding programs was something different and is not "configuration".
"A day and a half with Ubuntu, most spent setting it up."
No. I think that it was about 20-25 minutes setting up, the rest was playing around with it.
What you, like my wife, can't understand is that there is no perfect "whatever" for everybody. Just because I've upset you by not liking Linux does not mean that I'm trashing Linux.
Simply put, I've expressed
my opinion that Linux is not for me.
I sorry that you're so easily offend, and that you have a problem with those who’s opinion differ from yours.
