Have you installed Windows 10 or 11 lately?

The most difficult part are the partitions, but even that is done mostly automatically and doesn't allow you to continue if your setup wouldn't work.

It comes with decent default drivers for most generic hardware, and automatically installs drivers for more exotic hardware if it supports Windows Updates.

And it most definitely does not require a single command line.

Maybe some technical jargon, but even that you can just skip by pressing next and it won't fuck up anything.

Linux works exactly like that too, unless you start tinkering with it

Yes, it required a command line to perform disk partitioning and even a basic pre-erase.

It also asked about 20 more questions than necessary, and I had to answer "no" to each and every one of them.

Where Linux asks for a username, Windows insisted multiple time that I had to create an account. The only workaround was to physically unplug the Ethernet cable.

There's also a step where you need to lie about your regional settings to avoid getting plastered with preinstalled trash.

If you blindly click "next" through a Windows install, you will get the most bloated, horrible, invasive experience possible.

There Windows installer is an absolute fucking minefield.
