Why make a new Linux installer?

* Anaconda is badly designed, bulky and has a very poor UX for both unattended installs (using Kickstart) and normal user installs. It is written in Python in an aging codebase, ported from Python 2 to 3, and has lots of legacy code from the 90s since the inception of the original Red Hat Linux. It also relies on the aging DNF 3 library, which will be replaced by DNF 5 in the near future.

* YaST is designed for SUSE and SUSE only, it also suffers from the same issues as Anaconda, with an extremely large and complex codebase for simply being a wrapper for various system utilities.

* Calamares' support for Fedora is very hacky, as it is simply a barebones installer framework. It also has issues with BTRFS installs and does not support our desired features such as homed.

aus "Systems Management with SLES 16": suse.com/c/systems-management-

Side note: YaST sowie die Popularität von Linux im deutschsprachigen Raum Ende der 90er waren der Grund, warum ich meine ersten Linux-Gehversuche mit eben dieser Distribution gemacht habe.

war dann aber auch einer der Gründe, warum ich sie nach wenigen Monaten hinter mit gelassen habe, denn irgendwie harmonierten wir zwei nicht.

Quote from a #SUSE blog post about Systems Management with SLES 16:

"'#YaST in maintenance mode

With the development of #SLES 16, SUSE is putting YaST into maintenance mode. The installation and configuration tool YaST will continue to be fully supported as part of SLES 15. For SLES 16, some of YaST’s components are used as base of Agama, YaST as a tool is replaced by #Agama, #Cockpit and #Ansible."'

По моему скромному мнению #MicroOS, #Aeon и #Kalpa - это что может "сделать #OpenSUSE снова великим".
#Tumbleweed хорош, но не на столько чтоб однозначно выбирать его вместо той же фдоры или рача. И у TW я наблюдаю кризис идентичности, он больше выглядит как куча всего сляпанного вместе без видения цельного продукта.
И мне думается #yast уже пора на пенсию отправить.
