ubuntu-desktop-installer
- Ubuntu new installer is based on Flutter
-
Ubuntu Cinnamon is now part of the Ubuntu flavor family.
It appears ZFS option will be included, it just isn't the top priority and might take some time.
- Installing 23.04 daily build formats EFI. (March 16th)

Can We Trust Google About Flutter?
Outside of Google, there are also high profile uses of Flutter. BMW used Flutter for MyBMW (https://flutter.dev/showcase/bmw). An even more interesting use case for Flutter is the one being done by Toyota, who are using Flutter for their infotainment systems (https://flutter.dev/showcase/toyota). Finally, back to the tech industry, Canonical is using Flutter to develop Ubuntu's installer (https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer).

N things I love about Flutter
Work done by Canonical with their Desktop Installer, Sonos with the setup sequence, foldable support by Microsoft's Andrei Diaconu, Raspberry PI support and e-ink POC by Simon Lightfoot. The list could go on and on.
- Is EFI part selection bug fixed in 22.04?

How to install 21.10 with non-uefi system?
I understand there's a new installer coming with Ubuntu 22.04 so maybe that will be an option for Kubuntu at some point.

Ubuntu 21.10 Testing Week
I can't speak with authority about the replacement Ubuntu Desktop Installer as whilst I'm involved with Ubuntu (and all flavors help each other), we don't always keep up with the technologies we aren't going to be using ourselves (I'm with the Lubuntu team that currently use calamares).
- Ubuntu is going full-on ahead with Flutter!
-
Ubuntu 21.04 Released
Presumably the new Ubuntu installer being built with Flutter:
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer
Not sure if that's already in this version.

PBIS-Open is archived and no longer maintained, alternatives?
Alright, so there's a lot of folks that are really happy joining Linux machines to AD Domains with https://github.com/BeyondTrust/pbis-open --- and up till kinda recently, that was a really reliable, viable way of allowing linux servers in a primarily Windows environment to benefit from AD Domain Login, including things like restricting login to certain groups, etc. From a higher-ed perspective, where the vast majority of systems (at least endpoints) are Windows and rely on AD for SSO login, this seems like an ideal solution.
- Linux Servers in AD domain
- Linux and active directory integration/joining domain?

Ubuntu 21.04 Released
I would say the same but for authentication.
We have linux servers on our domain, specifically becaeuse there are certain things they do better than windows, and im a tool for a trade kinda guy.
But authentication and management of creds is a hard requirement.
The rest i can work with. We setup Ansible to handle much of the day to day config things. GPO"s might be nice.
At one and for years i was using PBIS, and whatever it was called before it was bought out, forked and named PBIS - https://github.com/BeyondTrust/pbis-open
I liked it because it kept GID/UID's consistent across the domain. But it was flaky for samba shares specifically ad group enumeration. There are paid add-ons that leverage GPO but never went that route.
More recently we are just leveraging SSSD/Chrony/Smb/Nmb to do the same, there are a few tweaks, but its solid. Its actually more stable now.
Some GPO's would be nice I supposed.
What are some alternatives?
