I'm not familiar with Mint and I only installed Fedora twice/on two baremetal PCs ... but how much easier can you go compared to Debian?
Is it like a cleaner UI or more preinstalled essentials?

I‘d place archinstall lower than mint 🤭
I want to buy a Framework laptop soon. I have the option to choose which Linux distro is best for me and load that on.
Any suggestions?
System76 has their own OS. You should start there and move on if you wanted to.
There is no way Gentoo is that low.
Man, seems hard for you guys to just choose English UK when installing windows...
LTSC is pretty easy to install. But it's still Windows.
Windows 10 is easy to install... If everything goes well. And 2 out of 3 times in my experience, it doesn't.
Debian is not easy
Have you installed it recently? They fixed the common annoyances like missing nonfree drivers.
I suppose its all relative, but I didn't find debloated windows to be much worse than anything else. I used microwin though, is that a different experience?
you guys have to read the instructions for Arch?
I mean I touch on them sometimes to see what has been replaced or changed because linux moves pretty fast but the steps are not complicated or hard to remember.
I installed windows 11. It was a shit show. So many updates with a 6gb iso. Took forever.
