No I didn't detect trollishness, but we all can understand  your frustration 
since we have all been there at some point.

Do feel free  to post here. Mint *is* Kubuntu after all, but there are some 
differences in the programs each one uses, as well as some of the desktop 
default settings. Anything done in one is done in the same fashion in the 
other.

Also, there are plenty of additional user help resources between Mint and 
Kubuntu that one can try as well as this list, such as Mint's forums and 
http://kubuntuforums.net.

I do hope you can keep your Linux box. While Linux is *not* Windows, it 
definitely can be a replacement for it. Heck it can live alongside it in a dual 
boot. I find it fun, myself, and almost never use the command line, and then 
because I want to.
