      But in many cases Windows is pre-installed so it doesn’t matter if installing Windows is equally hard. People don’t have to install Windows in order to use it. In order to get normal people to use Linux there should be similarly no barrier to entry. I’ve seen companies selling used laptops with Linux distro of choice pre-installed. Something like that could work.

      Except it isn’t because that hardware was made to facilitate an easy install of Windows. Also, most of those people bought it pre-installed. So you’re not only expecting them to have an easy install process, you’re also expecting them to do something they haven’t had to do in decades.

        Some problems remaining unsolved take less energy than trying to solve them.
