    Fedora has hands down the worst installer I’ve ever seen. Some distros don’t have one, yes, some don’t have a GUI one, yes, some require additional configuration afterwards, yes, but Fedora’s is just confusing as hell for no good reason.

    It’s also the only distro I had sound issues (i.e. no sound at all) with ever, and the only one where an installation has straight up failed to a point it created an unbootable system.

    tldr: I wanted to try Fedora and capitulated on install. Still enough brainpower for EndeavourOS btw.

      I spent around an hour trying to understand how to use Fedora’s manual partitioner. I think I just ended up partitioning it with gparted or cfdisk from a different system. Never had problems with manual partitioning on other distros’ installers.
