I was helping a friend to convert to Linux and use #Fedora . We downloaded the Gnome Fedora 40 and to show them I created a virtual machine to go through the installation. The installer crashed so many times while creating custom partitions that they gave up. Also some parts in the installer are one-way road and there is no way to go back (e.g custom partition and advanced partition).

I genuinely didn't expect this much trouble from Fedora!

@Mehrad That's odd, I never encountered any problems with Fedora (I'm currently running 39, is it possible that 40 is so much worse?)

@nicolaromano At first I thought of filing a bug report, then after few more issues I thought of recording a video and make a tutorial out of it for new-to-Linux users, but ultimately it was so unstable and buggy that I got to the conclusion that it (i.e improvement in Fedora Gnome installation) is not even worthy of my time anymore.

I have been a fan of Fedora, but this experience have truly been hurtful. I cannot comprehend how this installer passed any quality checks.
