You should indicate which distro you are using. Please put that in your user profile so we can see it at a glance and don't have to ask. Most distro's have a package system that you can use to explore packages you can install and then install them. We can't tell you more without knowing which distro you have installed.

"Helpless?" No.

"Momentarily confused and bewildered by something that's altogether new and strange to you, when you (I assume...) are still accustomed to a more-familiar world that consisted only of Windows?" Perhaps.

This is "anxiety," and it sucks but it will pass. Let it pass. Do something else. Then, go back to it and look around. Let your curiosity get the better of you (but "look, at first, don't touch"). "Say, this is new and interesting, and just maybe it could be fun...."

But let the anxiety come-and-go first.

Archmage, before we can help, you must answer the question which jschiwal asked: what distribution are you using?
