The last Windows I installed was version 10, it wasn’t hard. Neither is installing Linux, maybe it used to be, I’ve only been using Mint for the past two years, but I don’t remember it being hard to install.
I had a real time of installing Windows on a laptop because I had a peripheral that only works in Windows.
No trackpad drivers, no network drivers, no audio. Given Windows 11 now functionally requires internet during setup, I had to go get a USB drive, copy over the .inf files and have Windows find them before I could use the laptop that originally shipped with Windows.
Absolutely crazy. None of it was weird hardware either. Intel wireless, standard trackpad (not synaptics), realtek audio. No idea what the hell its problem was.
