That’s a huge difference! Linux is getting traction now because a major vendor (Valve) is selling a desirable device that comes with Linux pre-installed. We should be out there installing Linux for people who don’t know how! You can’t really expect everyone to know computer well enough to flash a new os on common hardware. Nothing is designed with making os swapping easy, friendly, or safe.
That’s fair, but you still have to do that with Windows. Only difference is that most OEMs pre-install it for you.
I actually find the Windows installer to be much less intuitive than most distro installers.
