Most my installs are just (Use the whole disk) but this time I wanted to split the disk sooo
after 4 hours of trying to install Solus that way I gave Up.

Its something I know how to do and been doing my whole Life But geeeez.
Gave me flashbacks of the early days of doing that with linux.

It was not a do or die thing so just did the whole disk.
My point is It should be simpler for the average user.
( I always let the installer do its thing and never had issues that way)

    During those four hours, did it ever occur to you to try creating one partition on the disk (with GParted or whatever) and leaving the rest of it unpartitioned? It might be interesting to see what Calamares would do with that.

        WetGeek I prob did that but cant say for sure tried a lot
        could never get the button to let me go to the final step..lol
        I got another to setup one these days may grab another distro and compare.
        But I am not going have different distros on machines

            Yeah, I tried that too, and it turned out to be a mess to deal with. I figured I didn't really need a 500 GB SSD for a Solus installation, so I created two 250 GB partitions, and installed Solus in one. So far, so good. But when I installed another distro in the other partition, things went downhill from there. I didn't spend any time debugging it, but just reinstalled Solus Plasma to use the whole disk, and I've been happy with it ever since.

              Solus 4.5 uses Calamares which allows you to manually partition as you please during the installation process.
