"null" is a private community created specifically for GolfNovemberUniform's posts to keep them in one place and avoid disagreements with communities' admins. It usually includes content about privacy, free and open-source software (FOSS) and operating systems such as Android, Linux and Microsoft Windows.

Nobody except the admins can post in this community, at least for now.

However everyone can comment here so some rules apply:

  1. (Most important) NO DISRESPECT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON ANY TOPIC. This means that you are allowed to disagree but you're not allowed to say (or even think for that matter) that someone's opinion is invalid or wrong. Breaking this rule will result in the most severe punishments.

  2. No discrimination, especially one based on religion or nationality.

  3. No hate speech. If you disagree or even think that someone should be imprisoned, try to say it in a civil and informative way.

  4. No politics. Comments about politics will be deleted, even if the topic is related to the post. Discussion of digital rights and surveillance related politics/laws is allowed to a reasonable extent.

  5. No NSFW.

  6. No advertising. You can recommend a product or even give a link but don't make advertising (spam) comments.

  7. No spam. This is obvious.

If you break the rules, we can warn you or ban you (temporarily or permanently). Severity of the punishment is chosen by admins.

I've always been a hater of the Anaconda installer. It's not necessarily hard but everything was in wrong places and UX was nonexistent (just try to remember the tile view of steps). Now that I've heard a lot about the new one, I had to try it.

So I downloaded the latest stable Fedora 42 GNOME edition image and booted it off an approximately 15 years old flash drive.

The first impression was "bruh no rounded corners. Imagine using web UI" but then it got better. There's no stupid tile view and the only real complaint is in my case the buttons on the bottom were in a weird spot between the left side and the center (just move them to the right please).

However I'm strict so I also checked the partition manager thing and I actually liked it. I haven't tried doing actual work with it though (as I didn't plan to install anything) so there might be issues there that I didn't notice.

Overall it's a terrific improvement but you do a simple installer so just switch to the GNOME's one duh.
