    Nah man, you just download an ISO and press next on the install screen.

    I didn’t install it for my family, my siblings did and they are labourers. If something went wrong they might ask me but it’s been 8 years and I’ve never had to touch any of the family computers. However, they are only used to browse the web, so not much to go wrong.

    I had to do a lot more maintenance on Windows a decade ago when they used excel for the family business. That was why they switched to Linux, apple sheets with MacOS was vastly more stable but Mac was $$$$, Linux was the better compromise.

    People like to simp for M$ but for stability and simplicity, Linux is vastly simpler for a home user.

    I can’t comment on enterprise use, there seems to be a lot of love for Microsoft Group Policies and VMWare among IT professionals, I dont like it but it must be good – not my area.
