The manual partitioning screen is also much more complex and therefore more difficult to
use. For the common use case of installing Fedora alongside Windows (where you need to
shrink the Windows partition), the simple dialog is/was great. Linux novice users might
not be able to accomplish that in the manual partitioning screen.
Just my personal opinion, I'm not trying to convince you to revert your plan.
I agree. If the change is approved, I'll suggest Docs team revise
documentation to recommend any resize of the pre-installed OS (macOS
or Windows) be done within those operating systems using their tools.
Right now, there's no support for resizing any macOS file system
layout anyway, so we have to advise the user accordingly anyway. And
manual partitioning can be suggested as an alternative for advanced
users.
