EEllis Because many DEs have this built in and there’s probably Flatpaks for this

How long have you let it black screen? Sometimes it can just take a minute to boot

Yeah instead of wine or whatever I’d just see if there’s any flatpaks that do audio stuff like that

if you think your system is infected, why NOT nuke it from orbit and reinstall?

Wow this stupid shit still won’t work. Word to the devs….. would’ve been nice if you guys made it know that the installer is busted so people don’t waste time fighting with it until you’re done fixing it. That just a massive waste of time……

Unfortunately the installer isn't really in the hands of the devs, that's Fedora's job. They are trying, and also trying to implement Fedora's new installer ASAP but it's just not easy

Yasuke

YasukeOP•7/2/24, 3:33 PM

That has nothing to do with telling users it’s fucked up….

Yasuke

If you know if fuck up tell people it’s fucked up. Don’t people put an out of order sign on things that are broken irl? Same shit.

Given that the vast majoity of people are able to install using the installer, it's more of a specific issue to your hardware or set up than a 'this thing is entirely broken' situation.

Kamquat

Kamquat•7/2/24, 3:35 PM

It's frustrating for sure, and I've had my own issues with the Fedora installer and a bitlocker'd disk myself, but you're raging at the wrong stuff here.

Unless you took off and nuked it from orbit, you can never be sure.
