    I build my own systems. And I dont know what y’all are smoking but a typical windows installation has the complexity of opening a jar of pickles. Next next yes and away we go.

    Linux on the other hand…

    Now, if you want to debloat and install without a ms account then yes. But then… Really… Who does that? (i mean of the typical windows users

      Avoiding MS account and many manual parts of the installation (opting out of shit) is like two clicks in Rufus before installation. Everyone should do it.

      That’s what I’m saying. Windows installation is idiot-proof. And I’m sure there’s enough people who maintain their own systems or at the very least have had to install Windows for one reason or another that to say that “almost no one” who runs Windows installed it themselves is just the “Linux Master Race” talking.

      Installing endeavourOS was easier than Windows because of all the ads you need to bypass and the telemetry options on Windows. The partitioning options on endeavourOS were easier too plus if necessary one can use a browser. The only difficulty there was on EndeavourOS which the Windows installer didn’t have was picking a wm.

      That was the most complicated installer I’ve seen for a Linux distro beside arch32 which doesn’t even come with archinstall.

      Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Debian, Mint are also next, next, yes

      But those pickle jars also use your monitor’s native resolution

      Windows on the other hand…
