Changelog
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT BETA ISO:
The installer may only show to put everything on one partition, hiding all the other automatic partitioning layouts (i.e. separate home).
It happens when the target disk is too small, and the split partitions would eventually be smaller than the minimum size they are supposed to have for an operational system
Boot folder is no longer placed in a separate partition, since grub2 now has full btrfs support with zstd compression as well
By cleaning some packages (thubderbird, rhythmbox, shotwell, libreoffice base, math etc) the home edition is now 1.6g instead of 2gb, and the security edition is 3.9gb instead of 4.1gb
