I switched to OpenSUSE after an year with Fedora and ~14 years on Ubuntu. The installer had me scratching my head. After my first attempt I too ended up having to enter the decryption key twice. The installer definitely could do with polish. Ubuntu's installer still remains the gold standard in terms of ease of use.
After reinstallation with the correct configuration though, it was smooth sailing. The only other change I had to make was disabling KWallet so that it connects to WiFi without prompting me for a decryption key.
- tinus_hn 3y agoIt’s a complete mystery to me why they didn’t implement allowing the keyboard to state its layout when they transitioned to USB.
- lockhouse 3y agoPersonally I find Fedora's installer to be less intuitive than OpenSUSE. OpenSUSE is wizard style, while Fedora is just a page with all the options where click on the stuff you care about changing, some of which has sensible defaults and some of which is mandatory to visit. It's probably a lot more efficient once you're used to it, but it felt unintuitive the first time I used it.
- unmole 3y agoI don't remember the details but I don't think I had any trouble with Fedora's installer. But I spent way to much time trying to figure out how to modify the guided partition scheme that OpenSUSE picked.
