What's difficult about Debian?
Linus Torvalds admitted he has not been able to install it. Somehow the installer looks like to be hard.
What??? Debian has an install wizard that literally walks you through it. You could do nothing but click "Next" and "Ok" over and over and end up with a working Debian system.
Debian's install wizard has a few frustrations in it. Like here's an example: https://moonpiedumplings.github.io/projects/build-server-3/#installing-debian
You cannot simply click next and get a working Debian system all the time.
There is also the root/user password thing (and no, "read the content" does not work if you just said click next + other installers don't have this confusion) + a few other stuff.
