I set up a kiosk on a Linux Mint machine today. From blank, unformatted drive to fully deployed kiosk, it took less time than just installing a base install of win11.

i seriously do not understand what's up with some of you, why do you spell stuff like in "m$". The extra work to type it like this doesn't matter at all. It makes no difference, Microsoft will not shut down because you spelled their name as "micro$oft" on your lemmy post or something like that. why do you keep doing this, i don't understand.
It's literally one more keystrokes, and people who do it often in a phone probably have it autocomplete. This message took much longer to write than probably every single time the OP has written MS as M$.

Kubuntu is also super easy.
Funny meme but let's be serious:
The steps to install Arch.

The steps to install de bloated Windows:
Download Tiny Windows.
Use Rufus to make a boot USB.
Click ok.
Mint is where it's at.

I‘d place archinstall lower than mint 🤭
Having installed both recently, Manjaro is slightly easier than Fedora (KDE spin), never tried to install Mint so I don't know if it's above or below that
What about Ubuntu?
It takes too long to listen to Lemmy users tell you why not to.
Windows 10 is easy to install... If everything goes well. And 2 out of 3 times in my experience, it doesn't.
Man, seems hard for you guys to just choose English UK when installing windows...

All these threads make me want to take the leap to Linux. My work laptop runs on Mint, but as for my home pc.. guess I'll still have to wait for more Proton development/compatibility. Last time I checked, part of the games I want to play soon (Remnant 2, Supervive, Legion TD 2, Morimens, Sengoku Dynasty, Ravenswatch and a few others) seem to require a little more experimentation than I'd like.
Don't get me wrong, as a modder of obscure Chinese games and at work, I'm all for experimenting. But for the 1h per day I can play, I'll wait until I'm quite sure I won't spend it tinkering around to get my current games to work.
But I sure hope it will be sooner than later!

I'm not familiar with Mint and I only installed Fedora twice/on two baremetal PCs ... but how much easier can you go compared to Debian?
Is it like a cleaner UI or more preinstalled essentials?
if you are already using fedora I don't see any value in switching to debian or mint.

I suppose its all relative, but I didn't find debloated windows to be much worse than anything else. I used microwin though, is that a different experience?
I took me 3 Fucking Days to install bloated Windows on a friend's Computer... This os is absolute SHIT...
