When I dual booted Ubuntu about a decade ago it took an afternoon and needed a lot of extra command line stuff to do anything.
Last night I installed Linux mint and it took about two hours. Most of the time was me rebooting my ancient laptop though.
On a newer (less worn out) machine I could probably do it notably faster.
Funnily enough I've had the opposite experience: installing Linux on a 12 year old laptop: 30 mins and done, installing windows on the same laptop: 5 and a half hours
My point is that if my machine didn't take 2-3 mins to restart (and all the usb slots were stable) then I probably wouldn't have needed much more than the 30 mins.
Thinking about it, I probably did reboot about 30 times for various different things.
