Or are you saying a new limit was hit around 2.2 GB?
I am not sure of the exact limit that fedora developers work too. But if you look in the devel mailing list archive you will find discussions about exceeding the limit and what will have to be done to fix it.
My memory may be faulty here but I think the reason for limiting packages is because whatever's on the Live image gets installed on the system.
I agree that Gparted would be good to have but I just use System Rescue CD in these situations.
The Live ISO's come with fdisk, but not gdisk. If a tool is going to be supplied on x86_64, it should be gdisk given GPT has supplanted MBR over the last 10 years plus. Plus, Anaconda switched to GPT in 2022; see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GPTforBIOSbyDefault and https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/4231.
fdisk works just fine with GPT. I use it often.
