We recently came across this thread related to an openSUSE review that contains some valid feedback about YaST as an installer.
https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/cbp2c7/
Both the review and the comments in Reddit are pretty negative, but if we can get along the not-so-nice wording (like "guided partitioner is a joke at best") we will also find there ideas and quite some food for thoughts.
So let's read and learn what we can do better.
Cheers.
Thanks for links, I check them here is few observations I have: - I am not sure if users want simplifier or more configurable installation - surprising amount of people wants to set hostname of machine even with NM - users are confused ( same as me ) when clicking on network link in opensuse installation summary screen it shows nothing configured, but reason is that it use NM and not wicked. We need to represent it somehow better ( similar like rest of network :) - as arvin mentioned people missing that reuse of home - in general my impression is that users missing some old storage features and in general find new guided proposal confusing. Maybe it is too much technical and less user oriented. Maybe we focus too much too match various requirement of products that we miss some easy to use user configuration. Maybe something like easy wizard with sequence like: separate home? -> if yes, reuse existing home? -> if not, which size and fs you want? swap? -> if yes, which size which partitions installer can use ( and checkboxes of existing space + partitions ) and do not allow continue till it is enough space. Like if you have not enough space in your android. I worry current fine tuning of linux, windows and other partitions is too much theoretical for users. just my wild idea how can more user friendly guided proposal can look like. - allowing to add community repos in easy way during installation users missing a lot - easy cpu mitigations settings looks like well received - a lot of complains to UI of system role screen so that is in short what I read from it.
