Well, Windows 10 is literally pick language, pick a disk, log into your microsoft account (or create local). There are no technical decisions in the installer beyond picking a disk, and usually there is no choice there. With Linux, I have to check what the three identical guided partition options mean, check what a network mirror is, work out which server packages I need, work out what GRUB is. That's four pretty technical things. Honestly, I'm probably familiar enough to make a best guess these days, but I have no idea what the consequences of the choices are and google doesn't generally help as sometimes there is no right answer!

No technical decisions beyond picking a disk? That dialog is an entire partitioning tool[0], you're just choosing the easiest default, which in my experience is all you have to do for Linux installs too.

While it is nice that you want to learn, you do not have to know any of that. Boot, select disk, username+password, click next a few times, done. And the (or create a local) part for windows is very non-obvious: https://superuser.com/questions/904673/can-i-install-windows-10-with-a-local-account https://superuser.com/questions/904673/can-i-install-windows...
