People will ask me why I'm 'torturing' myself with Linux while their preferred OS requires inputting the Konami code just to install properly.


It's like there's a memory of configuring xorg.conf or wpa_supplicant that just won't go away even when that stuff has Just Worked for 15 years. Even Nixos (which isn't at all a noob friendly distribution) has a desktop installer where you just click next like 5 times.


Most people just put their Microsoft account and are done with it. It installs fine.
