You apparently haven’t tried Ubuntu in 20 years? Canonical has had a very clean Windows-ish experience forever, though even back in the day, Suse always had a pretty decent one as well.
Not just loading bar it’s everything about the aesthetic in the menu, logo on the top, installation steps on the side and loading bar on the middle just enough to fill the screen while not being too crowded or overwhelming
And then there’s the installation options that look and behave exactly like a regularly themed Qt application (which it probably is). Wonderful!
Okay, I’m coming from Gentoo and Debian, cut me some slack, I’m easy to please regarding installers :-P
Was just kidding 😁 Keep that feeling, it’s a great one ! I love to see other people enjoying such simple but powerful brain flooding dopamine ! That awwwwww moment is really enjoayble, for others and yourself !
Hope you will have fun with openSUSE ! I’m also thinking to switch from Debian to OpenSUSE for my daily drive. Debian as server is fantastic, but got some quirks running it with backports and testing.
Maybe a skill issue? Probably, but trying something different will give me the necessary boost to find out 😄
Just because of the loading bar? You’re easy to please 😁.
I mean, it is something surprisingly absent from most installers

Ubuntu is still just one series of distros
It is also a lie as the installer doesnt know any percentages.
But afaik Debian installer, Calamares, Fedora Anaconda and more all have loading bars

No shame in that, I also get the warm fuzzies when I see a nice installer.
yeah, if I remember, they use something called libYUI which translates to a Qt application or TUI depending on requirements
