I mean, it’s quite obvious if you’ve ever installed openSUSE. It (without an
option) automatically sets up dual boots for you.
There is no need to add an option when YaST already does it whenever it finds itself running on a system with windows present…
Then maybe YaST during installation should have a page that tells people that
it automatically does it - or we get bad reviews from stupid
reviewers. Cheers MH
enough to read the partitioning page...
which the kind of reviewers that I'm thinking of obviously don't, and then there is another bad/erroneous review.
It's easy enough to tell stupid people "don't be stupid" - but it hardly ever works.
A pop up asking if you want full disk install or a dual boot with windows is a very good idea in my mind. Especially for users that are unaware what the defaults are.
The YaST partitioner is not very beginner user friendly (at all..). And also I, for example, have no idea how to change sizes of partitions still. What I do for a (re)install is open a live ISO, install gparted, create the partitions in size I want and then during install choose use current setup and link the partitions myself to / or /home etc.
People saying here that the problem is with the user are not very new user friendly.
I do agree that openSUSE is great for giving the user options for the install, it’s not the most intuitive, compared to other (widely used) installers.
But that’s just my 2 cents.
