From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm upvoting this because it's hilarious, but on a serious note, installing windows is so easy my granny could do it.
The only thing, and I assume that's where you struggled, is sometimes the formatting of the hd doesn't want to work. In that case, a quick google will help you out, but also just format it quickly with diskpart and continue the installation.
This person is either cursed or idk what they were trying to do. Installing Windows literally couldn't be easier, you don't even need to think about partitions, you can just let it create them itself.
I reinstall Windows every cca. 6 months to clear all the bloat i pick up, it's really not that hard.
I honestly found instaling Linux to be way easier than Windows, also suprisingly nvidia graphic card was easier to set up on Linux rather than Windows, beacuse pop os(And other sensible distros) Just bundle them with the os so it worked out of the box .
It's weird seeing niche comment areas with sensible real experience comments
