I had to indtall windows on my laptop a month ago. I haven’t messed around with windows in a while, but i always thought about tge installer being pretty simple (i remember the insert 35 floppy discs days and windows me sometimes just not working) oh god i hated it so much, everything about it was repulsive to me. I hopped around on different linux repositories last year until i found one i like for my gaming pc, i fresh wiped linux magbe 30 times, and it’s so quick. From working pc to completely wipe and working again it takes less than 15 min or so. Having everything woking on linux as a noob is a different story, installing it has become so easy.
Oh really. The fuck is domain, why do I need two passwords, fuck’s root and why the heck does it ask for my name.
And first of all why the heck did my pc boot into linux to install linux.
For someone used to windows, linux is weird af with it’s installer. Same other way around. I, being a bit more tech savvy, for example managed to almost force myself into using linux because I tried to keep windows like partitions…and, after fidging around in installer format tools, managed to do it.
Windows did not like it when I installed it back and I had to reformat because linux doesn’t care what format (or whatever the BTRFS, FAT etc are called) disk is in, or was it disks table? But oh boy does Windows installer care xD
For non tech savvy folk, last used installer is better xD
Windows doesn’t ask for domain, for example, last I checked. Same goes for first name and last name. Or differentiating between user and admin by default. At least in 10, didn’t have chance to install 11 yet.
Windows requires you to make an online account that includes your first and last name. I’ve never once added my first or last name to a Linux install, and most distros don’t ask you anything about root anymore, either.
Also, Windows very much asks for a domain, and in fact they’re the originator of it. When it’s asking whether the computer is for personal use or work, it’s deciding whether to request a domain to join to. ActiveDirectory (the thing the domain is referring to) came directly from Microsoft as a Windows feature that you have to pay extra for. Not to mention, if you don’t have a domain, just don’t enter one. There’s not a single distro where that’s a hard requirement, and it never will be.
This comment is very hard to parse. Is your complaint that Linux is worse because Windows screwed up your partitioning? If you’re talking about partitioning you’re already talking as a technical user, I’m not sure how Windows screwing up your partitions is evidence Linux less usable for non-technical people?
xD
Its literally easier than installing windows.
Do we really need to spell out “click next until it’s done” for you?
There’s no owl. It really is that dead simple. This isn’t windows where everything is super complicated, unintuitive, and hard to do.

So you can tell it your name is Seymour Butts
Widows also asks all those questions though …
What did you expect it to boot into? MacOS?
