    installing the easier linux distros has been easier than windows since like 2004. I never understood the “it’s hard to install” out of everything else that may be legit to complain about

    the only thing I can guess is the people that say that are the people that can’t get into their bios and do not know how to reformat windows either.

      We’re competing with “it’s already installed” though, not installing Windows from scratch.

      Installing any OS is a huge step up for most people.

      The real change comes when manufacturers start giving the choice of pre-installed OS. Some already do but they are pretty niche (e.g. Steam Deck).
