Just recently attempted to install Debian on a laptop which has had Debian installed numerous times in the past, and it simply puked. And I've been in IT for decades. Your average user will find it more challenging. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca [S] 5 points 1 year ago Debian is not the most easy to install distro even Linus Torvalds struggled with the install process at one point.
