This is how I feel about installing Linux. It never gives you a basic/easy install guide. It's ways an r/restoftheowl situation
EDIT - A lot of these responses are proving my point. Very easy to understand instructions if you know computers and computer terms. Not so much if you don't.
Also, people saying Linux is easier to install than Windows, totally forgetting that most people don't install Windows, it comes pre-installed, so the comparison is irrelevant
2nd EDIT - For the record, took a test and it said to try OpenSuse, Kubuntu or Zorin OS.
Going to go for Zorin OS. So if anyone has a detailed beginner guide to installing this it would be much appreciated.
Download iso
Load iso onto usb.
Insert usb into machine.
Spam del and all f-keys on boot because for some reason there is no standard 'enter bios' key.
Ensure usb boot is enabled and higher priority than internal disk.
Restart.
Follow simple installer guide.
This is literally my point.
I don't know how to do a lot of these things and usually the guide doesn't explain these points.
If it's labeled 'beginners guide' it should explain how to do all these extra steps
Which parts do you not understand? I can expand on those points if needed.
I understand it. My original point was that most guides don't explain it.
Also, the guide were responding to says 'download iso'. If you google 'ISO' it does not come up with anything to do with Linux. Which proves my point that most guides are not helpful for beginners
