Okay I’m a big supporter of Linux but this is misinformation.
Windows 11 LTSC install was the easiest install I’ve ever done, even easier than mint (or as easy).
The image I used even asked me the username when I was creating the bootable usb so I would save some time.
It also let me opt out of data collection and the rest of the bloatware.
Came with office and it was pre activated.
Now, if only that’s what Microsoft offered their mainstream consumer…
Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes. My last sentence does point out that Microsoft doesnt intentionally make it easier but imo we shouldn’t circle jerk by just claiming things that can easily be false.

The last Windows I installed was Windows 10. I was trying to install onto a SATA SSD, while keeping my pre-existing Linux installation on the M.2 SSD intact. This took me an unreasonably long time and lots of failed attempts, and in the end, the only way I could find to make it work was to first physically remove the M.2, then install Windows, then add the M.2 back again. Which sucked a lot, because M.2s are really not optimized for easy or frequent installation and deinstallation.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I mean that in the sense that whatever you've used to install Windows, it must not be common knowledge or the default.
If you need special knowledge or access, I would call that "difficulty". So even though, after you had all your special knowledge or access, it was easy, acquiring those preconditions was hard.
I.e. it was difficult to install Windows overall.

Not common knowledge to use Rufus?
What else do you use to create bootable flash drives?

He's talking about a debloated version of Windows. Of course it is simple to create installation media. But the comment I replied to insinuates that there's some simple installation package to not include all the windows bloat, spyware, data collection etc.
The default Windows install is easy, like the image shows.

You're in the Linux memes sub. Linux users are the ultimate example of special knowledge PC users....

Yes but the context of the post is overall difficulty. Of course if you're an expert in something, related things to that specialty will be easy for you. But we're talking about how hard something is for non-experts.

Again, you're in the Linux memes sub. Normie knowledge is getting you an enjoyable Linux experience no matter how you slice it. If we are talking about difficulty curve of installing an OS, you are already eliminating all the normies.
