Most of your comment is about changing os in general and not Linux particularly. It’s certainly a factor but you have to admit some of them like Mint is dead easy for anyone who can out some effort. Download Linux Mint, install a burner like Rufus, select iso and click burn, boot into it from BIOS and just clock threw most of them with default settings which is good enough for someone who is not tech savvy. The only time I had trouble installing Linux was with nixos GUI installer which had a broken setting but never had any issues with Mint, fedora or Debian.
From where? Which download? Where should I save it? Where did I save it?
install a burner like Rufus
What’s a burner? What’s rufus? How am I supposed to know what any of this means?
select iso and click burn
What does iso mean? You mean the file from earlier? Where did I save that? Why do I click burn? I don’t want to start a fire. I’m not burning a disc!
boot into it from bios
Now you want me to kick my computer with a boot? I don’t think you know what you’re talking about, that seems wrong. The fuck is a bios? How do I get there? What do I do once I’m in there?
I’m obviously exaggerating but holy shit you have to realize that even being able to begin to understand your shorthand instructions through context clues requires a level of domain knowledge far beyond the average user.
