Web UI Feedback using ISO installed 20221126

First:
Something that I know is not new to the discussions around the installer - I think the user should be given the option to partition their disks and/or encrypt their disks. Most users most of the time will be fine with the defaults, but I am one of those who keeps his home partition on its own disk for simplicity's sake when doing a reinstall.

Second:
The following feedback depends on the goal of a new Fedora installation. I like the return of a step-by-step installation rather than the current "look for options that need attention" installation method. However, there are a lot of options missing like time zone, setting the hostname, setting up custom networking like IPs and DNS, and deciding if you want a root user.

So if the goal of the new installation flow is to get a user to an installed and working desktop as quickly as possible (and they can configure timezones, etc from a working desktop), then the current flow is fine. (I still think you should allow for partitioning/encryption options).

Other
I note the current installer doesn't allow for package selection, so it's not bad that it's missing here. However, I wonder if there could be some benefit from giving users the option to install or not install certain packages at install time. Additionally, I think it could be pretty useful to allow the user to decide if they want sshd running from the beginning.

Thanks for the feedback.

As mentioned in the blog post. This is not final version of the installer so more features are planned and will come.
