Fake news. Ubuntu has had a graphical installer as far back as I remember. At least 12.04. Probably 8.04.

And plenty of very capable TUI installers even back in the 90s.

when people say "linux" what they mean is arch, all the other distros just work without much difficulty and thus aren't fun to joke about.
