I mean -- I built a PC a few months ago and formatting the windows disk from a non windows env was not trivial.
So yes, Linux is still not on par with Windows in many ways, but boy oh boy was it weirder than it should have been to format a USB drive to install windows.
I lost a solid 6 hours to that try, yay it work, wait I'm getting a nonsensical error at a strange screen. Retry with different flags, with different hardware, etc etc etc.
- skirmish 3y agoDitto, I was building a Windows desktop and spent hours faffing around attempting to follow official Microsoft instructions even with another Windows computer available; in desperation tried Rufus Installer, worked on the first attempt. Then months later was building another desktop and went straight to Ventoy installed from Linux and just dropping a downloaded ISO on the USB stick -- worked immediately.
