I tried to go with Jekyll but didn't even bother setting up a ruby env. So I went with Hyde. It works OK but I still was rather annoyed that I had to learn yet another markup/template syntax. Customizing wasn't really straightforward either, docs were rather lacking on some areas, so it was mostly trial and error. I'd prefer some static blog generator that's really dumbed down enough to have a dead simple template system and uses some form of simple markdown, but my search wasn't successful...

If you run Linux or MacOS you could always run Jekyll in Docker and not worry about Ruby. Unfortunately Jekyll with Docker for Windows doesn't work. The file watcher is completely busted (even with polling). It's strange too because every other language / framework works fine (Flask, Rails, Phoenix, Node), etc. It's just Jekyll that's broken.
