Installing Drupal 10 may sound like a hectic task, especially for newcomers, but István, a UX/UI designer with years of experience, took on the challenge and shared his journey in Brainsum. His experience sheds light on what it's like for a UX designer to navigate the Drupal 10 installation process in 2023.

Throughout the process, István's feelings ranged from initial confidence to minor confusion, but in the end, he found the experience satisfying. His journey serves as a valuable insight into the Drupal 10 installation process and offers tips for newcomers.

István's venture also uncovered a quicker installation method for those looking to quickly try out Drupal and get a first impression, further simplifying the process for beginners. Overall, his experience demonstrates that, with a bit of guidance, installing Drupal 10 can be a manageable task, even for UX designers.
