Obligatory mention: @linuxxx

@projektaquarius That's a tired argument. Linux is easier to install than windows now. Unless you're planning on doing the Gentoo challenge, but that's a choice.
@Nino9612 Elementary, Mint, Ubuntu. All very user friendly. And besides, anyone with a even basic semblance of intelligence could figure out Gnome or ODE. It's so simple. Again, tired argument. -
@Ashkin you say that, but this app, the super user SE, and Linux SE are rife with stories from this and year about how their Linux distro hard crashed while they were trying to install it, then murdered their family and spit on their dog. Followed by questions like "do I need to recompile?" and "is their still good in this world?" Meanwhile, I buy a random laptop online and it is pre-installed with Windows so I don't even have to deal with Windows installing. I don't even remember what the Windows installer looks like
Last night my friend started messaging me to help her install windows 10 onto their computer. She said her and some idiot with less tech credibility then a rock tried everything they could think of. First they downloaded the windows 10 ISO from the site, good so far, then instead of burning to a disk or USB, they thought 'copy and paste' would be enough (no googling at all) obviously the image wasn't attatched correctly, so they say they spent an hour doing IDEK to get the disk to read before messaging me. I talk her through getting the ISO mounted and then it asks her for the product key, she got pissed at that and said 'They gave me the ISO for free why do I need to buy a product key'
this is why I despise my friends some days
