Fake news. Ubuntu has had a graphical installer as far back as I remember. At least 12.04. Probably 8.04.

And plenty of very capable TUI installers even back in the 90s.

Yeah, I've used dozens of different distros for the past 15 years and the vast majority have had either graphical or text installers, both dirt simple.

OP probably never needed SCSI or ATA card drivers for their Windows XP install.

when people say "linux" what they mean is arch, all the other distros just work without much difficulty and thus aren't fun to joke about.

It had one even in 5.10 which is when I got hooked
