It is therefore recommended that you read this user guide before deciding to install {variant-name}. It is also recommended that you determine whether {variant-name} meets the specific needs or requirements that you might have. If you are uncertain about this, {variant-name} can also be tested in a virtual machine prior to installation.
Known limitations
*{variant-name} does not provide a fully functional experience for dual booting or manual partitioning.*
It is possible to make {variant-name} work for both dual boot and manual partitioning, and some guidance is provided on manual partitioning below. However, there are hazards involved in both cases, and you should only attempt to use these features if you have done the necessary research, and are confident that you can overcome any issues that you might encounter.
This issue is tracked in https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/284[issue #284].
*The keyboard layout selected during installation is not used for the LUKS unlock screen of {variant-name}.*
Regardless of your selection during the installation process, the keyboard layout available for the LUKS unlock screen will default to `en-US` (English - United States of America). You can workaround this issue by running the following command on the first boot after the installation:
$ rpm-ostree initramfs-etc --track=/etc/vconsole.conf
To avoid struggling when having to type the LUKS passphrase for the first time, you could set during installation a disk encryption passphrase that is easy to type with the `en-US` keyboard layout, and then change it to the passphrase that you actually want through the GNOME https://apps.gnome.org/en-GB/app/org.gnome.DiskUtility[Disks] app.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1890085[bug #1890085] (Red Hat Bugzilla) and https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/3[issue #3] (Fedora Silverblue issue tracker) for details.
Getting {variant-name}
If you are using Fedora Media Writer, {variant-name} should be listed as a download option. However, if it isn't, or if you want to download it manually, an install image can be downloaded from {website}[the main {variant-name} website].
Once you have got your copy of {variant-name}, it can be installed in the usual manner. We hope that you love it!
Preparing Boot Media
Fedora images are `Hybrid ISOs` and can be used to create installation media with both optical and USB disks, for booting on both BIOS and UEFI systems.
We recommend using Fedora Media Writer to make a bootable USB media to install {variant-name}. Other USB media creation software may work as well but are not regularly tested.
See the https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/preparing-boot-media/#_fedora_media_writer[Fedora Media Writer] section to learn how to use it.
Manual Partitioning
As described above, there are known issues with manual partitioning on {variant-name}, and it should be used with caution. The following notes are intended as hints for those attempting it, and should not be treated as recommended practice. Automatic partitioning is recommended.
With {variant-name}, only certain mounts can be manually specified as partitions. These include:
`/boot/efi` (for the UEFI boot loaders)
`/boot`
`/var`
Subdirectories under `/var`, including:
`/var/home` ({variant-name} has a symlink from `/home` to `/var/home`)
`/var/log`
`/var/containers`
The root filesystem: `/`
The Fedora installer is not aware of these restrictions and will accept custom partitions without error, even if they are incompatible with {variant-name}.
