New Fedora installer is crap. To use ext4 you must go long ways for no reason at all, by opening a hidden menu.
In what way?
It is way more user friendly than the old UI and makes Fedora as easy to install as Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
I had to look it up how to choose FS type. This doesn't make it "user friendly".
Maybe the basic workflow of basic installation is better than the older one under some aspects, like having it one step after another, rather than the older having a bunch of buttons to change stuff.
Also, to make partitions, it's no more possible through the installer itself. You need to use an external program (eg. Gnome Disks or Gparted).
For me it's a regression.
Edit: I like how people downvote without arguing. Does this make my statements less true?
