    I was considering switching from Windows to Linux but man, I don’t know, if only they had one more installer… /s

    Why people can’t just use Calamares and stop reinventing the wheel?

        I understand but that’s not how I think when I develop something.

        I usually try to find a tool, library, program or functionality that is missing. If I find something that does that already, I use it. If it is missing something or is not perfect, I try to contribute to it.

        I strongly believe in joining efforts to build better tools and that software quality can soffer from too high fragmentation.

      Because they don’t fix a 5 years old bug about LVMs? instead they write a post on how to drop support for it?

      Right now you have to do some sketchy bug/workaround to make it work with LVM…

      So yeah drop calamares, hello new installer :)
