What is your issue with installation exactly? I must have done 200+ installs of 2 dozen distros (not you Arch) and its always been smooth and easy.
And quick. Like, the whole process only takes 15 minutes for most distros
If you’re installing Ubuntu or Manjaro, it’s honestly easier than windows. The options make more sense, and you get much more useful info on your drives. With windows, I have to identify them by capacity, which has led to me installing on the wrong drive before. And live CD installs even allow you to look something up for help right there.
Arch is a totally different story though. No way I would have started using Linux if that was my introduction to it.
Correction: much more useful info full stop. Windows be like “an error happened, good luck shithead”. Linux be like: “error 37: here’s the full stack trace, we put it in a file so you can read in and copy/paste if need be, check the man page for details on how to solve”
Accurate meme, because the first 10-15 minutes of installing Linux will make you cry, but it picks up from there.
