Another big BIG issue by using calamares (which i don't say that is bad software) or other installer, is that I constantly read reports from installations and fastly improve the installe with fixes or usability improvements, only a few ones (the most important to tell) are mentioned on the changelogs of the releases
This means basically:
- i know the code
- i know where to search
- i know where it can be the cause
- i know the language and im very fluent with it
- im entirely familiarized with the naming conventions and the style of the code
in the case of using a different installer, how will be possible to maintain the application always updated with fixes and improvements and fastly included in the repo ? (oh btw, another unique feature: the elive installer automatically updates itself with minimal resources requirements (since doesn't uses apt) everytime an updated version is available on the repo)
so in short, if we want a bugged, outdated and of course less featured installer, let's switch to calamares or any other
remember that elive has made many of own apps when others doesnt' satisfy the needs, examples:
- a wrapper for arandr to support "remember", startup loading, and primary screens
- an entire touchpad configurator (do we have any available? not at all), with some amazing features too
- many other things that i dont remember
