How is “installing Linux” not easy? Download Ubuntu and run it. They make it easy.
You mean Arch? You mean something where you have to build it yourself and use the command line? That’s not necessary to run Linux. Or to say you ran Linux. Sure, it might be more efficient, or it might be better at some things. But I have to ask where your goal post is if you say installing Linux is not easy. Ubuntu makes it easy and I imagine most of them do as well.
Or maybe I’ve just been using computers so long I take what I know for granted. I dunno, it’s easy for me.
I was a Mac user for maybe two months when a beta came out. With ease, I created a new partition, downloaded the beta, and ran a beta (of macOS Sonoma) in the partition. I dual booted on a MacBook Air, my first Mac, which I’d only had a couple months. Okay now granted, Mac is easy mode most of the time, but they made it real easy. Though I fully understand “the average user” wouldn’t know where to start, let alone have the thought that that could be done.
So, maybe I am the weird one. But it’s just normal to me. Just how I am.
You’re forgetting what it’s like the first time. My first time I installed everything by source instead of apt and rm -rf /'d causing grub to disappear and bricking my computer.
