People with Linux installations tend to have Linux LiveUSBs already created, so finding one is faster. Most people don't keep Windows installations handy, so it takes a while to locate the Media Creator online, download the file, and begin the process

Or if you are someone like me, who keeps an older build of Windows 10 on a flashdrive, the updates require multiple restarts, before being able to install the Feature Updates. Maybe 8 hours is a stretch, but it certainly feels like it

It's possible to do separate %userprofile% drives, sure, but it feels clunky and can't be done during install like you can with Linux
It's funny you talk about people making shit up when my post is slight satire in response to the pure satire meme. Maybe you should talk to OP instead.

Separate /home partitions are a godsend.
IMO, blurring a house in Street View could lead to the Streisand effect, especially when 99% of all other property is unblurred.
If you want to remain private, in the case of Street View, your best bet is to keep it as inconspicuous as possible, otherwise people will start looking closer and ask questions; the exact opposite of what you want, even if you have nothing to hide.
