if something like this happens and you're just going to complain, stick to windows. Fedora/Ubuntu are the top two distros, I've tried it on a bunch of machines and it just werks. Why did the "Install to Hard Drive" fail? idk maybe you got shit hardware, maybe bad update, if you cared you'd go thru the proper channels and figured it out instead of making this thread. Stay on windows
Nah, it went away after a few seconds. Installer's pretty cute. I had to scan the monitor to find the "done" button on disk partition screen though. Who the frick thought putting it on the top-left of the screen was a good idea?
ah, this might be your problem
your vm might not play nice with the installer.
its a vm after all.
and if im not mistaken fedora encrypts your hard drive by default
or it can just be that fedora doesnt recognize your vm's interface for drives
>ah, this might be your problem >your vm might not play nice with the installer. >its a vm after all.
you are such a loser...
there is nothing wrong with the VM, it emulates drives perfectly for like 20 years.
its a Fetora bug. face it and admit it, you troon. >or it can just be that fedora doesnt recognize your vm's interface for drives
this bug is not even about the hard drive, you lying homosexual
it's just the installer's icon name on desktop: "Install to Hard Drive".
it's a general installer's crash, because it is alpha-state and you beta-test it.

that's the point of beta testing. some users encounter a bug, report it (probably unknowingly via Fedora's telemetry) and it gets fixed for the paid RedHat release meant only for premium users, not free beta testers like you.

>(probably unknowingly via Fedora's telemetry)
Even ignoring how delusional your entire post is, this statement is what does you in.
Fedora's anonymous telemetry is opt-in like every other in the Free Software world.
That and it's not even out yet, it's literally going to be released in Fedora 40.
That's probably it, it did go away after a few seconds so maybe it was hardware access lag or whatever it could've been.
There's a checkbox (disabled by default) to encrypt it, at least in 39.
I must say, aside from the few curved balls (account setup after install? Really?) it's pretty good so far. Gonna rice it a bit and see how it holds up.
When I installed Fedora this shit was so fricking unreal. In my case it would open the installer and then immediately close it, with no error message. I had to create the installer media again.
and I had the same issue. At some other step during the install I wanted to head back to the previous screen and there was no Cancel or Back button anywhere.
By far one of the worst installers I've ever seen. I still really like the OS itself, though.
>Fedora doesn't play nice in a VM for some reason.
Really? I never had an issue, it works fine for me. NixOS, on the other hand, never worked. No matter what settings I tried in Qemu either through Virt-Manager or Gnome Boxes. I may be moronic tho.

average lintoon response btw
Yes, highly based. Automatic snapshotting of root (excluding /home of course) every time the package manager makes a change makes it even better; in the rare cases that an update is bad it's very easy to just roll back to your last state.
Avoid Fedora. It will soon have more telemetry and adware than Microsoft. Capture DNS requests from their Beta to see what I am talking about. Block those Beta names/IP's and watch what happens when you reboot and log into your desktop.
Between telemetry and the btrfs kernel bug (and all the additional unfixable instability/corruption of that filesystem I've read while googling about that specific kernel bug) I have no fricking clue what to do.
just install mint. or debian with cinnamon or some other de that is not gnome.
or tumbleweed because cool chameleon logo.
idk about btrfs bug and don't care about btrfs or filesystems, because ext4 just werks for me. but what do you need btrfs for? maybe there are alternatives. like zfs for compression or whatever.
Basically it's due to legal reasons, not a lot of distros are developed or backed by a US corpo, anyone developing/maintaining a distro outside the US pretty much have not to follow such laws.
If you have actual work to do then stick with Windows or macOS. If this is just a hobby machine then the bugs don't matter, once everything is installed you'll face more and more because Linux was never meant to be a desktop OS.
in my experience, both MacOS and Windows had far more mission-critical bugs than Fedora/RHEL/oSUSE/Debian. Yeah, Linux had more bugs in general but not that impacted my workflow, something I can say about Win. or OSX. YMMV tho.
How did you manage to frick this up? I've installed multiple versions of fedora, for years and not had this. Laptops, desktops, VMs on laptops and five VMs on a full KVM server. Never any issues.
No dumbass we said install OpenBSD.
skill issue
how did you make that screenshot, anon?
youre installing it in a vm?
Yep, trying it out before formatting for real.
Nah, it went away after a few seconds. Installer's pretty cute. I had to scan the monitor to find the "done" button on disk partition screen though. Who the frick thought putting it on the top-left of the screen was a good idea?

I also fricking raged at the location of that button. It has to be done intentionally to piss everyone off.
Fedora doesn't play nice in a VM for some reason.

No, they didn't.
Why would anyone use Ubuntu? Isn't is just Debian with unfree packages enabled by default and some bloatware?

Fedora is alpha-release of the next RedHat.
You are a beta-tester working for free.
You don't need that. What's the use case for installing to a hard drive?
>You don't need that. What's the use case for installing to a hard drive?
That's right anon. Windows just works.
Thank you for reminding me.
Your anus will be destroyed tonight.
moron, I told you to install OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Fedora is for jeets beta-testing for IBM.
Tumbleweed is stable rolling release so its based
Yes, highly based. Automatic snapshotting of root (excluding /home of course) every time the package manager makes a change makes it even better; in the rare cases that an update is bad it's very easy to just roll back to your last state.
How's it better than Fedora?
stable rolling release. doesn't try to force-feed you IBM's experimental shit like wayland
The only distros worth installing are immutable ones. The rest are for autists with too much time on their hands.
>workstation
we are shilling kinoite, it has a different installer.
also "we" are waiting for 40 since it should have plasma 6 preinstalled
>kinoite, it has a different installer.
Does it?
But yes, Kinoite is the only good version of Fedora
slackware is gay?
thanks for the heads up
i didn't said shit, get fricked
we meant the hat, not the OS
Avoid Fedora. It will soon have more telemetry and adware than Microsoft. Capture DNS requests from their Beta to see what I am talking about. Block those Beta names/IP's and watch what happens when you reboot and log into your desktop.
Frick you've convinced me to try Tumbleweed. Took a read of their proposes telemetry and it's fricking grim.
I'm going crazy, guys.
Between telemetry and the btrfs kernel bug (and all the additional unfixable instability/corruption of that filesystem I've read while googling about that specific kernel bug) I have no fricking clue what to do.
Is there even one single non-shit option?
alpine linux (stable or rolling) or openbsd (stable or rolling), that's about it
>downloads a bunch of meme distros
>Is there even one single non-shit option?
nah
the only valid distros are debian, arch, and alpine. Stay away from RPM-homosexualry, Snap-homosexualry, Nix-homosexualry, and Flatpak-homosexualry.
Install gentoo
Windows LTSC
>Windows LTSC
deprecated
just install mint. or debian with cinnamon or some other de that is not gnome.
or tumbleweed because cool chameleon logo.

what a pointless post
shut the frick up moron
The worst part of Fedora is that you have to rely on third-party repo like rpmfusion. I mean, what the frick.

Basically it's due to legal reasons, not a lot of distros are developed or backed by a US corpo, anyone developing/maintaining a distro outside the US pretty much have not to follow such laws.
No you're supposed to install nobara, the official gamer fedora spin
If you have actual work to do then stick with Windows or macOS. If this is just a hobby machine then the bugs don't matter, once everything is installed you'll face more and more because Linux was never meant to be a desktop OS.
in my experience, both MacOS and Windows had far more mission-critical bugs than Fedora/RHEL/oSUSE/Debian. Yeah, Linux had more bugs in general but not that impacted my workflow, something I can say about Win. or OSX. YMMV tho.
Have you tried opening a terminal and blindly pasting sudo commands?
Fedora, the OS that broke after I ran upgrade......
>he updooted
>got memed into avoiding arch
skill issue
Oh nononono
why would you use anything other than ubuntu/debian-based systems? they have more users so there's more troubleshooting/solutions for problems.
How did you manage to frick this up? I've installed multiple versions of fedora, for years and not had this. Laptops, desktops, VMs on laptops and five VMs on a full KVM server. Never any issues.
