Welcome, Mr Plod!
I know what you mean about some of the older Linux distros 'back in the day' - Lindows, MEPIS, Debian, the early Ubuntus, etc.
A lack of driver support and auto-detection in the earlier kernels, being forced to compile kernels - something no sane Windows user would ever try - and using KDE as their standard desktop (VERY slow back then) kept me in and (mostly) out of Linux until about three years ago.
LL has been the easiest OS to 'get up and running' I've ever encountered, I received what little help I DID need very quickly.
Enjoy all that new, outstanding free software out there!
