Will this get better?

I installed Linux on a USB and love the many things I can do on it. However it is a lot of work compared to windows. Nothing really just "works". Something always gets messed up. At one point wifi doesn't work, most programs I install don't work out of the box and it takes me long times to figure out what is wrong. Will I ever reach a point where I am not constantly confronted with fixing everything? If yes, how do I? Also another question, are there any programs that are 100% compatible with Microsoft office? I need MS office for school.
