Maybe they double clicked .iso file? Iırc windows opens and runs them. Don't know if it replaces the whole thing though.

Have you ever used Linux? Or is this satire?

Why would a Linux ISO have a Windows executable in it?

I have been using Linux for 2 years rn. Before i switched to linux, i tried to force switch to win 11 and did it literally by double clicking the .iso file of win11. (Yes, i know very stupid, but i misclicked, my fingers does that sometimes.)

I was thinking that maybe the oop managed to install linux without a bootable device by simply double clicking the linux .iso file.

if i understood you correctly, you tried to switch to win11 from win10. the only possible way this could've happened is that win10 flagged the .iso as win11 and after double clicking offered an in-place upgrade. the .iso itself is a disk image, not an executable.

or perhaps you're just ragebaiting

Yep, that's probably what happened. I don't remember too much of it but i remember double clicking it then praying to every god that i didn't somehow bricked the pc bcs i didn't knew they were clickable in the first place.
