I mean... nuisance... maybe 10 years ago or if you try to install Arch from source, but nowadays the big distros all have very nice and beginner friendly installers. Totally on par with Windows, if not even more user friendly because you don't have to deal with forced logins and navigating dark patterns.

Yea Linux distros are beating out windows now. I trying popOS at the moment and the install process was a couple of clicks. No assistant screaming up me, no internet connection required. Beautiful.

At first glance "10 years ago" seemed right, but then I did the math and it's more like 20 years ago. 10 years ago there was Steam, Plasma 5, Dell sold Linux laptops and Unity has been the default in Ubuntu for a few years already. Time flies.
