    I recently started using Linux again after a 15+ year hiatus. The Debian installer looks exactly the same as it did when I stopped using it. I’m not hating, just stating why it might look outdated for some people.

      It’s kinda why I like it. No surprises, it asks you the same dozen questions in the same order and installs your new system.

        Yeah, there is nothing wrong with it. It functions and it’s very straight forward. But I can see why someone would say it looks outdated.

          Totally, it reminds me of the W95 installer if you go for the gui or good old MsDOS if you stay on the CLI.

        I love that it doesn’t change. I don’t like that when I boot from a ventoy disk it doesn’t install a boot loader. Took me like 5 installs to figure out what was going on.
