Installing Debian took like 5 mins, doing all the configuration and stuff.

Only want to run Linux as your primary operating system? If you are good with a slightly more complicated install process and don’t need access to Windows tools (like Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc), you can run Linux on bare metal to access the full potential of your hardware without any overhead from virtualization or emulation.
They know they cannot stop those determined. So they worded some parts to try to make it sound like “it will inconvenience you and Linux is hard” so that people are like “Ok, I will not do it if it is hard”.
Funny, but did you manage to install it on a way too old pc or are you using hdd as System drive?
Because it just seems to install as normal, but slowly.
I mean Linux may take the same time if you install sth like popos which ads a lot of “bloat”
When I had to reinstall Windows 11 on a laptop at work with an 11th Gen i7 it took a good 30+ minutes of it faffing about between finishing the setup wizard and reaching the deskfop and when I to installed PopOS on a much older laptop with a 6th Gen i7 it took less than 5 minutes to perform the install
This is on an M.2 with a i7-10870H and a 3080M. I installed Windows some days ago on my main Desktop and didn’t have to deal with any of that. It must be a new “feature”.
Well then I wonder what the fuck Windows is doing? Running crypto miners?
Pop took like 5 min on my old crappy m.2

I did a fresh install of 11 recently and it took heckin forever after restrating like twice and doing lots of “setup”
It was a great processor and on a decent ssd, so i do think they’ve just increased how long the setup takes
If our planning is anything to go by: easily half an hour longer than 10, if you do a manual install.
Oldest developer trick in the book. Program in a bunch of useless delays everywhere. On the next few updates, slowly remove them and say you are “improving” the system.
Just use windows 10 in a vm
Blah blah Linux blah blah
Coming here from all as someone who hasn’t used Linux, but I hate it too when people bash windows in a Linux community. Truly unheard of
