And the main lesson her is "don't clutter the user interface

remote connections, the graphics are poorly labeled and very
confusing, and the "spoke and hub" model is a bit of big vision
coneptual weirdness that is actively preventing people from wanting to
touch Fedora. It's an *installer*, keeping it as lightweight and
simple as possible with minimal graphics means that it will display
better on small virtual system or remote KVM displays. But this has
been discarded in favor or an overly bulky and complex system that is
showing off what are quite fragile graphical features rather than
simply doing the *job*.
Citation needed. Anaconda has been graphical for ages, and has probably gotten
lighter after the rewrite if anything.
