This is also true. Installation under Linux is made easier by the 
availability of packages for various distributions. Under Mac OS, it can 
be installed by downloading MacTeX manually or by installing it with 
HomeBrew.

The installation process under Microsoft Windows is more problematic, 
but it can be worked around. The graphical installer wasn't very 
accessible with a screen reader when I last tried it, so I needed to 
extract the archive manually and run the command line setup tool. I 
apologize for the vagueness of this description; I can't remember the 
steps in detail anymore. By contrast, Linux and Mac OS are trivial so 
far as installation is concerned.

Also, Arch Linux has a package in the Arch User Repository that installs 
TeX Live directly from the upstream release, rather than a custom 
packaged version.
