What's so hard about debian to set up?
Besides having to boot from an ISO and the arduous process of installing Linux in general compared to not having to do this with MacOS or Windows, hardware compatibility is by far the most annoying part of Linux desktop. Want to use a new laptop to run Linux? Well it probably will have a bunch of hardware issues you need to monkey patch.
It appears a site for software engineers can get lost in the sauce with the concept of something being "easy" - but Linux absolutely will never take off if it's a pain in the ass for the average computer user to install and use.

Man I'm using windows and defending it's usage in this very thread but that's totally stupid
Care to explain why you think this analogy is stupid?

Let me quote the guidelines:

Well - I think this should start to cover it.
I used Linux Mint for about a year and gave up because everything was constantly breaking and the software was a direct downgrade from MacOS in terms of usability and prevalence. Oh, and new hardware usually doesn't even work on Linux.
Linux is like Communism, sounds great in theory but in reality it doesn't work.
