The Day Windows Died

I just helped my brother install Linux on an XPS 13.

The main part he had trouble with was configuring the firmware to allow the installation, and then know about the new UEFI partition, and then forget about the no-longer-extant Windows boot partitions.

It wasn't obvious how to make that work even for me.

I had no problems like this with my installation. It's just that some people don't even know about bootable USB sticks - this level of "non-technical".

I thought I understood USB-stick bootability, but perhaps not well enough. Could you elaborate?
