People with Linux installations tend to have Linux LiveUSBs already created, so finding one is faster. Most people don't keep Windows installations handy, so it takes a while to locate the Media Creator online, download the file, and begin the process
Or if you are someone like me, who keeps an older build of Windows 10 on a flashdrive, the updates require multiple restarts, before being able to install the Feature Updates. Maybe 8 hours is a stretch, but it certainly feels like it
It's possible to do separate %userprofile% drives, sure, but it feels clunky and can't be done during install like you can with Linux

It's funny you talk about people making shit up when my post is slight satire in response to the pure satire meme. Maybe you should talk to OP instead.

Your failure to prepare is Microsoft's fault.

How is this different than installing from an Ubuntu 20.04 disk? Another failure to prepare.

Sure it can. All you need is an answer file. You can put that on your USB, and it'll become the default just like Linux. It's actually significantly easier to customize a windows installer than most Linux installers.

OP seems to understand this community in a way that you don't. OP is also making legitimate criticisms of some members of the Linux community rather than lies born out of ignorance of the product he is criticizing.

-And they've been doing this since I can remember (at least 20 years).

-OP made, built, and mods this community. -Thanks for the great, appropriate responses!
