Bazzite is exactly that. Dead easy.
Don't you need to put it on a USB-stick first? That's the biggest hurdle, I think. Then getting into the BIOS and choosing which device to boot from. Those 2 steps are the ones that kick most normal people out.

Defo The biggest hurdle I think, not to mention making the USB bootable with additional software. Dead easy for us, but grandma would never have been able to wrap her head around that.
And Tt be fair, this process is the same for Windows. The only difference is people purchase their pc's with Windows pre-installed for them. I do wish more people got to experience the difference in installing Linux vs Windows though, bet it would be an eye-opener to many.
Also, I wonder what year stores will ask customers what OS they would like installed on their PC.
