I‘d place archinstall lower than mint 🤭
Man, seems hard for you guys to just choose English UK when installing windows...
you guys have to read the instructions for Arch?
I mean I touch on them sometimes to see what has been replaced or changed because linux moves pretty fast but the steps are not complicated or hard to remember.
I just type archinstall and it does it all for me
I'm not familiar with Mint and I only installed Fedora twice/on two baremetal PCs ... but how much easier can you go compared to Debian?
Is it like a cleaner UI or more preinstalled essentials?
if you are already using fedora I don't see any value in switching to debian or mint.
Im not using Fedora (nor Debian or Mint), I like my weeds to tumble & my susey to be open.
Also I ... wouldn't ask which distro is easer to install just to switch to that one bcs of that reason. Sounds redundant.
But with Proxmox (a hypervisor) for virtual machines Debian is my go-to (as with most users everywhere) and Im too lazy for templates so I install a few Debians from scratch now and then - and it takes like no time. So I was wandering if Mint just has less steps or some other friendliness tricks.
I installed windows 11. It was a shit show. So many updates with a 6gb iso. Took forever.
Having installed both recently, Manjaro is slightly easier than Fedora (KDE spin), never tried to install Mint so I don't know if it's above or below that
i seriously do not understand what's up with some of you, why do you spell stuff like in "m$". The extra work to type it like this doesn't matter at all. It makes no difference, Microsoft will not shut down because you spelled their name as "micro$oft" on your lemmy post or something like that. why do you keep doing this, i don't understand.

Windows 10 is easy to install... If everything goes well. And 2 out of 3 times in my experience, it doesn't.
All these threads make me want to take the leap to Linux. My work laptop runs on Mint, but as for my home pc.. guess I'll still have to wait for more Proton development/compatibility. Last time I checked, part of the games I want to play soon (Remnant 2, Supervive, Legion TD 2, Morimens, Sengoku Dynasty, Ravenswatch and a few others) seem to require a little more experimentation than I'd like.
Don't get me wrong, as a modder of obscure Chinese games and at work, I'm all for experimenting. But for the 1h per day I can play, I'll wait until I'm quite sure I won't spend it tinkering around to get my current games to work.
But I sure hope it will be sooner than later!

I suppose its all relative, but I didn't find debloated windows to be much worse than anything else. I used microwin though, is that a different experience?
LTSC is pretty easy to install. But it's still Windows.
