Funny, but did you manage to install it on a way too old pc or are you using hdd as System drive?
Because it just seems to install as normal, but slowly.
I mean Linux may take the same time if you install sth like popos which ads a lot of “bloat”
This is on an M.2 with a i7-10870H and a 3080M. I installed Windows some days ago on my main Desktop and didn’t have to deal with any of that. It must be a new “feature”.
Well then I wonder what the fuck Windows is doing? Running crypto miners?

Only want to run Linux as your primary operating system? If you are good with a slightly more complicated install process and don’t need access to Windows tools (like Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc), you can run Linux on bare metal to access the full potential of your hardware without any overhead from virtualization or emulation.
They know they cannot stop those determined. So they worded some parts to try to make it sound like “it will inconvenience you and Linux is hard” so that people are like “Ok, I will not do it if it is hard”.
I did a fresh install of 11 recently and it took heckin forever after restrating like twice and doing lots of “setup”
It was a great processor and on a decent ssd, so i do think they’ve just increased how long the setup takes
If our planning is anything to go by: easily half an hour longer than 10, if you do a manual install.
