MODERATORS
I've been in IT since before Linux exited, and installed my first Linux box the other day.
You're spot on. It's a frustrating nuisance to me (especially as writing tech docs has been part of my job), but for a non-technical person it's a no-go.
I don't know what the answer is. CDs like AOL used to do?
It's a better walk-thru USB-stick-creation process. See my response to sibling comment. I really think this is a solvable problem but a lot of Linux users are in denial about just how geeky and perseverant ordinary people can be expected to be.
Yes, even that USB creation walk through has been too much, for me, let alone a non-technical person (or even less motivated, which I have been for 20 years now) .
