This might just be me but I hate those bars. It better come with some sort of text output so I can see what’s actually going on.

You could’ve shown a better screenshot I guess

There’s some decent screenshots here: opensuse-guide.org/installation.php

Give me the Debian TUI anyday. Clean, simple, to the point. Has become just muscle memory thanks to all the server VMs I’ve installed it in.

I am impressed, creating btrfs sub-volumes in a debian installation with muscle memory would look like magic to me (as a linux-beginner).

The partitioning and filesystem stuff feels very unsorted and confusing for me.

But if all the standard settings are ok for you and you only have to hit enter, I guess the installer is ok.

I mean yes, generally the standard settings are fine for my deployments so that’s what I’m talking about. I agree the partitioner leaves something to be desired though.

If it’s in muscle memory, I think you should look into automation.

Why? I don’t need to do it that often, and I kind of enjoy the flow. It’s not exactly long or complex either. Not everything needs to be automated, I think all the detritus clogging up the web these days is evidence enough of that. I already use a custom iso with a bunch of preferred packages and things like the docker repo added.

With Gentoo, you can choose any live-iso, open a terminal and start installing. (:

I think people here are don’t know and understand how customizable is opensuse’s installer.

There is a reason for this: yast.opensuse.org

en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST

Yast is opensuse’s configuration/setup tool, and it’s used in the installee.

Really good! Reminds me a bit of Mandriva Linux installer’s look and feel. Yes, I am as old as rocks.

Arch has a better installer in my opinion

redempt ,

I mean, archinstall is pretty nice! it’s certainly not flashy but it’s a great tool that gets you up and running very quickly with no hassle
