    how did you make that screenshot, anon?

      Yep, trying it out before formatting for real.

      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

          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.

            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.

          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.

        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.

    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?

      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.
