I always hear that a normal computer user would never install an OS and that is the main reason Linux has not a higher market share. But I guess what we mean by that is that a user would never create a live usb, access the boot options and boot from there to install the new OS.
Is there a hard technical limitation when it comes to create a tool that installs a linux distro from a “normal” windows exe file, provided that the user first disables secure boot and fast boot (which are things a tool with admin privileges should also be able do on first run)?
Does such a tool already exist?
I feel like there’s something I’m missing, forgive my ignorance
Fair point. Support for this may be tricky.
Although I think something like replacing a drive is doable by an average consumer given enough instructions/tutorial videos, there’s bound to be issues that come up. One way to minimize them may be by matching the OS installs on drives to commonly available hardware out there. Something akin to Amazon automotive “it will fit your car” matching.
