Installation and setup of a windows OS with programs the user wants takes hours.
Installation and setup of linux with programs... Days or weeks due to some obscure thing that didn't work and nobody seems to know about or because the "configuration" file has many options but it requires you already knowing what you want and what it does (looking at you mpv).
I'm still fiddling with mine due to minor but important problems, I can't picture the people I know even attempting to figure out linux.
