MX has the easiest installer in the Debian family

[Arnox]

I installed Mint, in order to familiarize myself with its installer to better help a family member who wants to install it. Anyway, I was again reminded of what I said in this thread title. Even Mint's installer is a pain compared to MX's. (And why didn't I try to convince him to try MX? Because he's an old man with little patience for computers, and is--sigh--convinced that Mint is easier. It was simpler to give him what he wants and feel pleased that he's using a Linux distro.)

Well, as long as they are at least using Linux, that's far and away better than any other OS...

But MX is definitely better.

I don't see what's difficult about Debian installer either. It's not really rocket science. Our has nice features like being able to install preserving content in /home (even if it's on the same partition as root) and it's faster but it's also not like you install the OS every other day...

Our installer is safer. The more complex, the easier to make a careless mistake with. Also, ours doesn't waste the user's time by asking to connect to a network.

True, but if you ever have tried Debian's netinstall you obviously still need to connect to a network to download the packages to complete the installation. It's nice to be able to do an offline install of MX (in case you don't have the proper firmware for your network device for example) then later connect in order to get the updates.
