If you can't find the door on a car, you're too far gone to help.

I suppose it is automatic on Window

No it's not... When you have no OS on a computer you still have to create the bootable USB for windows in the exact same way as with Linux, you still need to boot with it the exact same way and follow the installation instructions. The process is identical with the same level of "complexity".

I mean, obviously...but that's not really something that's going to change. And today it is a seriously low barrier to pass, I'm not sure how it could go any lower, aside from.maybe buying a pre-made USB stick for installation. It already requires literally no skill other than basic reading comprehension. There is a plethora of step-by-step guides online, the only thing really keeping people from switching is their own inertia.

Then you have to install other software I have no knowledge of to make a bootable drive

Eh, this is the same for windows as well, you always need some sort of installation medium to boot and install from regardless of OS.

They're poor...fuck 'em, who needs them!?

Maybe not, but you and I definitely dont, so let's stick to what they're actually saying instead of guessing.

That's not a firewall though, which is what OP mentions.

That sounds weird and super invasive...where is this?

Stop using your ISPs router and they're not going to have much control over it.

It's not dependent of circuit, things just need to be on the same phase. Our house uses three phases total, so power line adapters only work for 1/3 of the house here.

I don't have an issue paying ISPs to access pirated content either, that's the same as paying for Usenet access IMO. You're paying for network access for a lot of different things, pirated content just happens to be part of it. Paying a streaming service specifically for pirated content is vastly different from paying for general network access, even from an end user perspective.
