You cannot simply click next and get a working Debian system all the time.
There is also the root/user password thing (and no, “read the content” does not work if you just said click next + other installers don’t have this confusion) + a few other stuff.
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
