Debloated windows is very easy. Installs super fast and I don't even have to be there to push any buttons.

difficulity

The difficulity of spelling difficulity is very difficulit.

Fedora takes 0 brain power to install.

[-] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Fedora has hands down the worst installer I've ever seen. Some distros don't have one, yes, some don't have a GUI one, yes, some require additional configuration afterwards, yes, but Fedora's is just confusing as hell for no good reason.

It's also the only distro I had sound issues (i.e. no sound at all) with ever, and the only one where an installation has straight up failed to a point it created an unbootable system.

tldr: I wanted to try Fedora and capitulated on install. Still enough brainpower for EndeavourOS btw.

post windows 7/early 10 versions, I would place it harder than arch. I had to go through a bunch of shit to get my mobo mount nvme drives to show up, then came the cursed hell of just clicking through all the setup questions where they make it sound like you have a choice, but you don't unless you do the custom install image bullshit aka the harder windows install on the chart.

Kubuntu is also super easy.

Hobbyist here, in my opinion reading the manual or the wiki is easy, understanding it quickly is not. You can obvioulsy follow the instructions blindly and still succeed.

For the most part is very comprehensive but sometimes you are left alone to connect the dots which is very daunting when instructions get technical and you do not understand them.

In the end it felt like one of those half semester courses Universities try to cram in.

Funny meme but let's be serious:

The steps to install Arch.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide

The steps to install de bloated Windows:

Download Tiny Windows.
Use Rufus to make a boot USB. Click ok.

Mint is where it's at.

I set up a kiosk on a Linux Mint machine today. From blank, unformatted drive to fully deployed kiosk, it took less time than just installing a base install of win11.

i seriously do not understand what's up with some of you, why do you spell stuff like in "m$". The extra work to type it like this doesn't matter at all. It makes no difference, Microsoft will not shut down because you spelled their name as "micro$oft" on your lemmy post or something like that. why do you keep doing this, i don't understand.

If I were to take a guess, it's probably just a censorship joke. Censoring the word implies that it is inappropriate to say. Like when people say Fr*ench".

Maybe, but Linux will fuck up that boot partition within a year and any non-techie will be screwed.

It takes too long to listen to Lemmy users tell you why not to.
