    Give me the Debian TUI anyday. Clean, simple, to the point. Has become just muscle memory thanks to all the server VMs I’ve installed it in.

      I am impressed, creating btrfs sub-volumes in a debian installation with muscle memory would look like magic to me (as a linux-beginner).

      The partitioning and filesystem stuff feels very unsorted and confusing for me.

      But if all the standard settings are ok for you and you only have to hit enter, I guess the installer is ok.

        I mean yes, generally the standard settings are fine for my deployments so that’s what I’m talking about. I agree the partitioner leaves something to be desired though.

        Why? I don’t need to do it that often, and I kind of enjoy the flow. It’s not exactly long or complex either. Not everything needs to be automated, I think all the detritus clogging up the web these days is evidence enough of that. I already use a custom iso with a bunch of preferred packages and things like the docker repo added.
