Especially if you're not using it for gaming, setting up a computer with Linux is incredibly easy. And even if you are, it really only requires basic computer literacy and Google-fu at this point. This comparison is at least 10 years out of date

That aside, people who can't manage to install Linux wouldn't try to install Windows either.

You make an important point.

For someone who has never done an OS installation, installing Linux is still a new novel step.

I hope we start to see now OEM Linux Mint.

I'm not sure what it will take.

At least Microsoft seems, to me, to be committed to doing their part by enshitifying Windows 11.
