Installing Linux isn't hard if you use a beginner friendly distro. It's way easier than installing Windows even. However, most people haven't installed any OS themselves and use just whatever their system came with, including all the bloat and spyware included by the manufacturer

I was about to turn a new SSD into a clone of my old HDD until it turns out the Windows 10 fast start won't accept keyboard input on boot for some dumbass reason so I can't get into the BIOS.

No problem, I'll turn off the Windows fast start, easy... Oh, no, turns out keyboard input is also turned off in the restart menu for turning off fast start

Anyways, I'm sure there's a way around this nonsense, but that SSD is running Mint and Proton now.
