I have no idea what you're talking about. I mean that in the sense that whatever you've used to install Windows, it must not be common knowledge or the default.
If you need special knowledge or access, I would call that "difficulty". So even though, after you had all your special knowledge or access, it was easy, acquiring those preconditions was hard.
I.e. it was difficult to install Windows overall.
You're in the Linux memes sub. Linux users are the ultimate example of special knowledge PC users....
Yes but the context of the post is overall difficulty. Of course if you're an expert in something, related things to that specialty will be easy for you. But we're talking about how hard something is for non-experts.
Again, you're in the Linux memes sub. Normie knowledge is getting you an enjoyable Linux experience no matter how you slice it. If we are talking about difficulty curve of installing an OS, you are already eliminating all the normies.
Not common knowledge to use Rufus?
What else do you use to create bootable flash drives?
He's talking about a debloated version of Windows. Of course it is simple to create installation media. But the comment I replied to insinuates that there's some simple installation package to not include all the windows bloat, spyware, data collection etc.
The default Windows install is easy, like the image shows.
