My parents are fed up with windows 11 slowing down their old HP desktop to near unusable levels. It is so bad that the right click menu can take up to 6 seconds to load. Anyway I created a free 900GB ext4 partition that I want to install to but how do I get the fedora KDE installer to detect that free space (sda6)?

    What I mean by not detected is that the counter for free space at the bottom says 10MiB only. I want to tell the installer to go there for install

      I’ve never installed fedora specifically but…

      Anyway I created a free 900GB ext4 partition

      It’s either ext4 or free, can’t be both. Now, if it was ext4, Fedora would for sure detect it as such, so I’m not sure what it is.

      I assume you would want to click on sda6 in the installer, then the “-” button to delete whatever is there, and then it would recognize it as available space.
