Seems to me that you didn't learned anything about Linux since last 3 years.. you can log in the console mode and then run sudo apt-get update or sudo apt-get install mesa-drivers-experimental...

Moreover, you can also boot the old kernel which will present you with the GUI..

Finally, its not good to blame a software coz you couldn't figure it out.. my Dad runs Fedora on his laptop since last 1 year.. and he never complains...

Use Windows. It's the best for you.

Or even better, get a Mac if you have $$$.
