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.

Just because of the loading bar? You're easy to please 😁.
Not just loading bar it's everything about the aesthetic in the menu, logo on the top, installation steps on the side and loading bar on the middle just enough to fill the screen while not being too crowded or overwhelming
And then there's the installation options that look and behave exactly like a regularly themed Qt application (which it probably is). Wonderful!
Okay, I'm coming from Gentoo and Debian, cut me some slack, I'm easy to please regarding installers :-P
No shame in that, I also get the warm fuzzies when I see a nice installer.
yeah, if I remember, they use something called libYUI which translates to a Qt application or TUI depending on requirements
