Debian isn't hard to install, the hardest first part for a total newbie is to make the bootable USB and switch the UEFI and bios settings to begin with. But how do you want to make it easier than it already is? Yes you have to download stuffs, and yes you have plug a USB in, and yes you have to follow the step by step instructions https://linuxhint.com/debian_10_bootable_usb_install/

I mean, there's a level of easy below which you can't go when it comes to custom stuffs

The only way to circumvent the "difficult to install part" is to buy a computer with linux preinstalled, that's what MS did with windows btw

>Wanting to convert his laptop from Windows 10 to Debian, Dan Pal clicked "Download" on the Linux distro's homepage. It did not install because his wireless chipset was not supported. He succeeded eventually by downloading a DVD image, but had to hunt for it. "The current policy of hiding other versions of Debian is limiting the adoption of your OS by people like me who are interested in moving from Windows 10," he said.

Compared to buying something with it preinstalled it is much more difficult. The distro makers need to focus on availability of pre installed machines.

I agree, ultimately for tech dumb people that's the only solution, and it should come as a maxed out distro pre installed, with gimp, libre office, vlc, younameit, all multimedia and bureautic needs covered so people really only have to plug and play right out of the box

Problem solved
