I wish, but multiple Laptops with unavailable drivers, barely working trackpads, sleep issues and a few other annoyances tell me it isn’t always as easy.
I haven’t found many systems that Windows doesn’t run

abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 year agoInstalling Linux has been painless for over a decade, its as easy as clicking next. You’re telling me Windows users can handle all the stupid bullshit Microsoft throws at them, but a couple different icons and a different name is really gonna stop them from understanding the basic desktop metaphor that has been in use since the 90s?

They weren’t talking about using linux, they meant installing it. They were referring to downloading a disk image, writing it to a flashdrive such that it’s bootable, making sure your bios is set to let you boot from removable media, pressing the right key for your device to select the boot media, picking the flash drive, and then navigating the installation interface.
There are definitely places where I see folks getting stuck in that process if they’re not a technical user and/or familiar with linux
