It's always funny when someone goes "It's so hard to install", like bro, you just press "next, next next, enter your name, finish". Can't get easier than that.

Windows is easier to install because the user didn't install it.
What do you mean "install it?" You install programs ONTO windows. Windows is already installed. It's literally how you buy the computer. Have you ever even used a computer?
Dude, you reinstall windows every1.5-2 years as by that point it has fucked itself into oblivion.
I bet there's a strong correlation, at least among we olds, between the number of times one has installed Windows and the likelihood that they are now a Linux user.
That's how we know that Linux is easier to install these days, for one.
Twice have I helped my friends install linux. Twice have they had bogus usb drives that didn't store the distro properly. (One of them was a 2 cent 2tb drive, the other one was a pendrive he "found on the ground in the street")
The last Windows I installed was version 10, it wasn't hard. Neither is installing Linux, maybe it used to be, I've only been using Mint for the past two years, but I don't remember it being hard to install.
I had a real time of installing Windows on a laptop because I had a peripheral that only works in Windows.
No trackpad drivers, no network drivers, no audio. Given Windows 11 now functionally requires internet during setup, I had to go get a USB drive, copy over the .inf files and have Windows find them before I could use the laptop that originally shipped with Windows.
Absolutely crazy. None of it was weird hardware either. Intel wireless, standard trackpad (not synaptics), realtek audio. No idea what the hell its problem was.
I must say, im impressed by windows 11 haveing an update that fucked with the gui shutdown and then next up one that just straight up made it unable to boot
Yeah, already installed vs. may require some tweaks to get all of your hardware working, is a big one, especially with laptops since there's so much proprietary junk in many of them.
