The install on Linux is easier than Windows

The bypass thing happens when making the boot drive and is basically the exact same process as Linux. It just asks do you want to bypass it and you click that. If you aren’t getting a boot drive, then you can’t install it. And making a boot drive is the easiest part of a Linux installation.

I don’t remember Diskpart asking that last time I installed Windows but I guess it doesn’t matter anymore

Linux install is just clicking next a bunch, you don’t even need to go into CLI

Rufus does.

You still have to decide what you are doing with different storage devices and partitions, regardless of what OS you are installing. If you have a single storage device and a single OS, it’s probably straight forward. If you add more, it gets more complicated. At least with windows, if it’s your only OS, the assumption is you will let it handle everything and it’s all just nfst. With Linux, it often seems to want to make all sorts of partitions (at least home, root, and swap? Idr since it’s been some time), make decisions about file systems and what type of partition. I rather not leave those choices up to default autopartition options, especially when dualbooting.
