No way the Fedora user figured out how to configure partitions in the installer without having to google it at least five times! I've installed Fedora a few times over the years, and that UI still makes no sense to me!

Lol I end up just opening gparted, do my stuff, then go and set the partitions in the installer

Lol. I tried to google it too and i still am unable to define a custom home partition for my most recent Nobara install. Gave up and just let it automatically create what it needs.

I just let it do partitioning automatically, or do it manually with GNOME Disks.

I switched a friend from Ubuntu to Fedora specifically because the partition setup during Fedora install is so good. (It was during a new build)

Yeah for some reason whenever i try and install Ubuntu, the installer only sees the primary NVME drive if one is installed. Haven’t had that issue with any other distro

Huh. I had the complete opposite experience. I found fedora's manual partitioner to be the worst of any distro I've ever used (I had trouble understanding it and it always ended up giving me some weird error when trying to finalize the partitioning step). I think I just ended up ditching fedora's default manual partition manager.
