That’s kind of why I switched. I was spending time and effort trying to force Windows to obey, I decided I might as well spend that time on an OS that wasn’t actively fighting against me.
The bypass is just ticking a box while making the bootdrive to install the OS. If making a bootdrive is too hard, installing linux is probably out of the question.
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.
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.
I got an Ubuntu 5.10 CD rom in them mail, using Linux then was a major decision. In 2016 I moved to a Linux only lifestyle and it was only a little hard. Now everything is web based and nearly every game in my Steam library runs on stock Debian, I would recommend LMDE/Mint/Ubuntu to any PC gamer and even most casual users.
It has to be easier to just switch to Linux than it is to do these bypasses

The install on Linux is easier than Windows

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.

It really is.
