    I’ve never “debloated” Windows so idk about the top half.

    The bottom half is accurate. Debian, Fedora, and Mint are easier to install than Windows 10 or 11. Not that Windows is difficult, it’s just a bit clunky and idiosyncratic.

    I assume Microsoft doesn’t care much about the installer since it’s generally only used by OEMs, whereas for Linux distros it’s a first impression so it has to be polished.

      Well, if you want accuracy, then no the meme isn’t really that accurate.

      On an updated Win11 system the Shift+ F10 command prompt “OOBE\BYPASSNRO” trick still works to setup a new system without Internet (and by extension, without a MS account) so that’s like most of the battle right there

      The rest is taken care of with your choice of debloat scripts that are out there

        compared to clicking “next” on Fedora, Debian, or Mint

        I’d say using a simple straightforward GUI is much easier than an arcane combination of commands and keypresses

          Wait, did we just reach a point where a command line input is needed for Windows and Linux just needs to press a few buttons??

          Well, I didn’t say it should be ranked towards the bottom lol, if we want to make this graph accurate it would be below arch but above “Windows the normal way”
