The openSUSE installation expert partitioner /was/ highly agreeable to me. The
only things I found lacking were [1], and Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia's installer
cmdline option that limits its partitioner to only accepting designation of
mount
points, mount options, and whether to reformat any existing partition; powerless
to alter, add or remove any partition.
Nothing about the changes I noticed in the 20210210 15.3 DVD installation
installer's expert partitioner do I prefer to what was.
Very much missed are the instantly available at the bottom left: summary and
settings, where I would always change mounting default to by LABEL and type to
EXT4, and double check before proceeding from partitioning to next step that I
made no serious typos or omissions. I loath having to choose to click a back
button, which in the past more than once has caused all my work to that point to
be discarded. Also missed is ability to see all partitions on all SATA and NVME
disks at once, while excluding the installation USB partitions not to be
considered for the to-be-installed system.
[1] https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1101756 seems not to have been
addressed, bad for multibooters.
OT:
At the very least, give some contrast to the bottom right buttons. Gray on
off-white is merely bothersome. Off-white on pale green is very poor. The green
is
so pale that black would be better than pure white. It looks as if its contrast
has been reduced as often happens when some other action is required before it
can
be selected.
I don't like how deep I have to go into network configuration to setup static
when
all the static IP settings have already been provided via installer cmdline
options.
