I just did an install on my secondary NVMe of Fedora 34 using the March 26 nightly of Workstation Live.
I have done about 50 such installs in the last four years, but this was my first with wi-fi.
I was not able to change the time to AM/PM in that part of the installer.
However, somewhere and somehow, I must have screwed up and installed Rawhide Everything Boot on the USB thumb-drive, instead of the Fedora 34 nightly.

Never mind. I am retarded.
I forgot to put the iso of 34 on the thumbdrive, and accidently used my old Rawhide iso.

I now have Fedora 34 WS Beta installed on my secondary NVMe. The only thing I can see to comment about is that during the installation of the bootloader, that Anaconda kicked me back to the menu you first get when you are asked if you want to try Fedora or to Install. I am not sure if this had something to do with the time of the screen lock, as I was not paying close attention ( I was half-asleep ). So I just decided to wait a few minutes and then reboot. Everything seems normal.
This may have been the first time I tried the live installer.
I ran an update and rebooted, played a game of FreeCell, surfed the web, watched a video while checking htop, and now sending this email.
I replaced this over my Fedora 33 install, so now I have Rawhide on my primary NVMe, and Fedora 34 Beta on the secondary NVMe, on a Gigabyte Vision B550 motherboard.
In the Rawhide install I did a few hours ago, I had to manually do the wi-fi part, which I think would have been confusing to some new users, but in the 34 Beta, I just had to click on the network, and enter the password, which I think any computer user in 2021 should be able to do, as that part is nearly the same on smartphones.
In the Rawhide install, I had a choice of time formats, but it did not work. I did not see that in 34 Beta.
In the Rawhide install, the installer shows many of the packages being installed, but in 34 Beta, it just vaguely reads "installing software" and randomly jumps from 3% to other random percentages.
In 34 Beta, the hurricane animation does not spin during installing software.
I think 34 Beta WS has a few more apps included than Rawhide WS. I will have to take a closer look.

We all make mistakes :-)
And along those lines... let's avoid using this word to refer to ourselves or anyone when we make mistakes. It's been used to disparage non-neurotypical people and those with learning difficulties or intellectual disabilities for far too long... there are other ways to say "oops".
