okay so. calamares is a distribution-independent system installer, and she comes with an advanced partitioning feature for both manual and automated partitioning operations. no cap. 💅

she's literally the first installer with an automated “Replace Partition” option, which makes it super easy to reuse a partition over and over again for distribution testing. the way that she just lets you do that?? iconic. 🔥

and here's the part where the distro maintainers start crying happy tears: Calamares is designed to be customizable by distribution maintainers without needing any cumbersome patching, thanks to third party branding and external modules support. periodt. 🎀
