I don't know man, Debian's TUI installer is just neat. It does the job.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Really good! Reminds me a bit of Mandriva Linux installer's look and feel. Yes, I am as old as rocks.
Top bad it fucked my EFI so my NixOS can't boot 🥲
There is a reason for this: https://yast.opensuse.org/

Yast is opensuse's configuration/setup tool, and it's used in the installer.
You can also use it from the installed distro itself, even configuring things like grub.
Arch has a better installer in my opinion
I mean, archinstall is pretty nice! it's certainly not flashy but it's a great tool that gets you up and running very quickly with no hassle
Reminds of Windows 98 installation
