The OEM install option allows you to customise your installation a bit. Upon first boot the user sets up their account and user name and they're good to go.

It's like buying a new laptop and setting up Windows upon first boot. Just less shit.

That's what I thought. I always wondered why that's not the default. I've built some stuff for other people and I have to set it up for them along with the install...

Because most people installing an OS on a device are doing it for themselves? I do think they should label the OEM edition as "Install for Family & Friends" as well though.

They can still install it for themselves. They just do the setup after the installation.

Yeah it's always a whole thing of steps and shit to get to something like that. Wish it were easier or just an option or something.
