First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

I even agree with you, even though I am software developer myself, I also just want things to work right out of the box.
Every Linux distro on the planet has this problem, they are all loaded with an incredible amount of programs and choices.
Lets face it: For the general consumers choices are a BAD thing. Good defaults that are consistent across all distros. No more Gnome or KDE, just a "Linux Desktop Environment"...
Red Hat are taking steps in the right direction with their new NULL beta.
Lycoris are also trying hard to make it easier to deal with Linux, wether they succeed is another story, I hope they do.
But you are not alone. I feel your pain
