Quite a good video about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtWWLN3wGNE

Used it to create a dual boot on my main machine and works a charm.

Sounds like the installer is not ready for regular users yet.

That was a few months ago, there's been improvements since.

This must be new, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

The previous installer was deprecated in 2012, so a 10 year period of no installer.
