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.

It’s the KDE edition(should have mentioned that), which afaik doesn’t really have an automatic option. But it seems you also don’t have to set all the individual new partitions yourself. I told it to get rid of the partitions that belong to Windows (dell support/image/…) to merge it into one part that fedora would do its thing with.
KDE or GNOME its the same installer. In both they ask if you want automatic partitioning or manual.
My bet is there could be some bitlocker partition somewhere still alive. Or your bios assuming a bitlocker encrypted partition. Maybe put some of the bios security features down for testing.
Currently reinstalling, it’s going extremely slow and it’s at 109%. The bar isn’t even a tenth of the whole.
I’ll keep you guys updated.
