    Linus Torvalds admitted he has not been able to install it. Somehow the installer looks like to be hard.

      What??? Debian has an install wizard that literally walks you through it. You could do nothing but click “Next” and “Ok” over and over and end up with a working Debian system.

      He said that in 2007. Things have changed a lot since then, Debian is as easy to install as any other big distro (most of them, including Debian, use the Calamares installer nowadays)

        Maybe not the right thread to ask, and you don’t need to answer, but how did install (on any distro) work pre Calamares? Even though I tried Linux the first time over 15 years ago, I think I never not used Calamares
