You can see what your choices are and what you might have to do."
OK, with all due respect I have to think you might be misunderstanding what Linux is really like now. If you mean menu based are you describing a full Graphics User Interface with graphic menus to point and click and such? You may have an assumption that Linux is just a terminal where you have to enter commands in a command line to use it. If so good news... Linux is NOT like that anymore.
The current Linux distros are a full Graphics User Interface just like Microsoft, and one no longer even needs to use the command line terminal at all unless you want to do some higher level technical work to it like building your own VPN server Etc. It is all point and click and drag and drop just like Windows.
There is a prevailing myth that just keeps hanging on and on that to use Linux you have to learn to code and use a command prompt in a terminal like DOS was. It is just not true, maybe 20 years ago, but not any longer.
I run Mint and it is almost exactly like Windows 7 in use. Anyone who has used Windows 7 can jump right on it and fly with no problem. The menus are all similar in usage and do the same things for you.
But you can do much more with Linux because it belongs TO YOU not Microsoft.
