Windows 10 is easy to install... If everything goes well. And 2 out of 3 times in my experience, it doesn't.
This is 100% true, but the chart inverts when you have a problem you're trying to fix.
Mint was super easy. I just had to scratch my head for two days trying to figure out why the keyboard didn't work after coming out of suspend. Had something to do with it being in a USB 3.0 port. Once I plugged it into a 2.0-port it worked.
The debate has never been so intense! It might not be the Year of the Linux Desktop, but that's certainly a great one
LTSC is pretty easy to install. But it's still Windows.
you guys have to read the instructions for Arch?
I mean I touch on them sometimes to see what has been replaced or changed because linux moves pretty fast but the steps are not complicated or hard to remember.
I just type archinstall and it does it all for me
I installed windows 11. It was a shit show. So many updates with a 6gb iso. Took forever.
I suppose its all relative, but I didn't find debloated windows to be much worse than anything else. I used microwin though, is that a different experience?
Isn't mint a downstream product of Ubuntu? I haven't paid attention to them since they were distributing images from a compromised WordPress site years ago π
Maybe I've been DDing Ubuntu for so long that I just couldn't be bothered to try another distro based on it. I want to try a rolling release distro, but I'm too old to distro hop. All I care about is a functional system anymore.
Lol it's not that hard. It's just a matter of what you are used to.
