[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

ROFL windows is the easiest thing ever to install. Same with steam.

Sounds like either you’re terrible with computers or you have some serious hardware issues.

Blaming it solely on windows is a joke.

Sounds like you have never installed linux

Coreidan , 11 months ago

I have installed many Linux distributions. What is your point?

If you’re trying to convince me that windows is more complicated to install then it’s pretty clear you’ve never installed windows.

At this point in the game neither Linux or windows requires more then a few mouse clicks to install their OS.

If you’re having trouble with either then you’re doing something very very wrong or using wrong/bad hardware.

Well… Not Arch

Have you actually installed Windows in the last decade? I mean from scratch, mind you.

It takes like 15 minutes to go from bare metal to login. I built my own PC in March and installed Windows from scratch from a USB drive.

It was a few clicks and leaving my laptop AFK to install. The only semi inconvenient part was finding a way around not using a Microsoft account. Other than that, it’s about as brainless of an installer as it gets. My dog could do it with direction from me.

Yes, it’s part of my job, it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.

@winterayars @Coreidan yep did it the other day just spam no and your done in 10 mins. obvs Linux is easier than that these days but op is overreacting or stupid

SRo , 11 months ago

Yes, regularly.

TheGreenGolem , 11 months ago

Yes, multiple times. It usually go this way:

• the installer starts
• I click on next a few times
• it asks the key
• next
• next
• nextnextnextnext
• the desktop shows up about 20-30 mins later

It’s literally a nightmare.

@Coreidan @PeterPoopshit ah, can you install windows without a microsoft-cloud account nowadays ? Please tell me how.

zaph , 11 months ago

When it asks you for an email use “[email protected]” and use a random string of characters for the password. Congrats, you can now use a local account on setup.

fatalicus , 11 months ago

Or use rufus to create the USB installer, and it will ask if you want to create a local account, and some other things to make installation even easier than it already is.

zaph , 11 months ago

My answer was more for those stuck on that screen without a second computer to grab another iso on.

Go to ThioJoe or Chris Titus Tech. Windows 11 can be installed without internet or Microsoft account.

Tavarin , 11 months ago

Yes, I’ve set up several work computers without internet. You can make a local account on set-up.

nabladabla , 11 months ago

Don’t give it internet access during setup.

squaresinger , 11 months ago

It’s kinda funny how many people have no problem at all with a cloud account on their phone but get a mild stroke when Windows asks them to create a Microsoft account.
