Most people don’t install windows. It comes pre installed on something they bought. Microsoft probably puts more time into automating the process.

Also, last time I installed windows it was a breeze. I haven’t installed Linux in at least a decade, so I can’t speak for that.

    Try installing debian some time, the installer makes windows' installer feel like its for a piece of software you got of a sketchy site that wants to install 16 other things not even related to it

    I mean, sounds exactly like the Windows installer to me

    We must be using different installers then, because between the amount of telemetry you have to turn off, the dark patterns, and the insistence on using a Microsoft account the whole experience reminds me of installing one of those "driver updaters" when I was a kid and before I learned that was a very bad idea
