I'll repeat what I said the last time this was posted: NO f*cking way the Fedora guy got past the partition configuration step without pulling at least a few hairs out! I love Fedora, but that UI is just cursed!

Am I the only one that’s not had trouble with it? What’s the big issue?

I love Anaconda, but I will admit the partition management isn't very intuitive. That is the only thing I can ding it on though, in every other regard it's an amazing installer.

I just had to imagine you facing the fedora installer's partitioning tool:

Just wipe everything and select automatic partitioning

[-] erev@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

this is the way

on my main system i have arch with a partitioning scheme that has worked well for me because i took time to research and identify what i needed from it. i even got full disk encryption working after the fact!

on fedora i click automatic partitioning, wipe the drives i want, and don't do more than that because the partitioning screen feels extremely confusing.
