How is this going to help his mom install linux?

Did you open the page? It answers your question. And if it doesn't then this video will https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7CqDCw8mPQ

TL;DR (even if you'd get it in 3 minutes) it makes installing ubuntu as easy as installing an application on windows.

Do you really think someone's mom is going to go through this?

Look at this bro, you don't even have to configure anything. Just double click on the installer, click install, and follow instructions. Are you seriously saying installing microsoft office is easier to install than this? How did somebody's mom ever install software on windows if they can't use an installation wizard?

Also, if an installation wizard is too hard, how will you even understand the difference between windows 10 and windows 11? How would you even understand what the petition is about? Do you really think somebody with the capacity to be worried about windows 11 or 12 would not be able to click "install" and hit "next" a few times?

Always moving the goal posts. First it has to be easier to install, then when it's made literally the same process as any other program on windows it's "too hard".
