Linux is pissing me off

I am really frustrated about Linux.
The idea is lovely.
apparently you can seek help anywhere on the net.
i have installed many versions of linux on many of my computers at home but i always encountered a problem that ended up discouraging me.
I am frustrated, i am disapointed, and i just feel like punching my dad's laptop's screen.
I heard about Linux Mint which is supposedly "very user friendly".
I need to set up an internet connection but i do not have advanced network knowledge so now i am stuck.
I lost 2 hours searching for a solution on forums and blogs that are linux related but i didn't find anything that helped me.
Usually it doesn't take me more than 3 minutes finding the solution for any IT problem when using google as a search tool. With linux, it seems much more difficult than that it is extremely frustrating.
i am so pissed right now... i am writing this to get rid of my rage but it seems like nothing would help me being frustrated against the unease of access to help for setting up linux properly.
i am really discouraged but i really want to know how to use linux properly.
on some versions website they claim that it is not so difficult contrairly to what people believe but f*ck... then why am i having so much trouble FINDING THE SOLUTION not even applying it... IT IS NOT EVEN A MATTER OF APPLYING THE SOLUTION BUT JUST FINDING IT.
fuck i'm so pissed.
