From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's kinda why I like it. No surprises, it asks you the same dozen questions in the same order and installs your new system.
Yeah, there is nothing wrong with it. It functions and it's very straight forward. But I can see why someone would say it looks outdated.
Totally, it reminds me of the W95 installer if you go for the gui or good old MsDOS if you stay on the CLI.
I love that it doesn't change. I don't like that when I boot from a ventoy disk it doesn't install a boot loader. Took me like 5 installs to figure out what was going on.
