We have to make a distinction between the installation and the configuration
phase that takes place after installation.

Installation is easy.  Especially with the latest official installers.  The
configuration phase can be pretty challenging to the uninitiated.  But it's
a *great* way to learn about your computer and its operating system.

Datapoint: I have tried, and failed, to install Gentoo twice.  I never
failed to install Debian.
