Waaay easier. I tried to fix a work computer that someone but bitlocker on. I couldn't do shit with windows so I threw Mint on it to format it. Loaded right up, worked great. I go to put windows 11 on it and the HD doesn't show up... It needs drivers that I'm struggling to find. I have to run the driver setup on a different windows machine, find the driver and put it on a usb. Problem is, there's no model number on the computer and I can narrow it down to the series that has 20 different ones. It's unreal the pain the ass to just get it to install, meanwhile, linux has been working great on it while I mess with it here and there to try to get windows back on it.
