I’m wondering, was there any reason, like some fundamental missing functionality that could not be provided with the old installer and was absolutely required by paying market? This new installer looks like another “Unity” experiment. Do something new for the sake of doing it differently, then never do it properly and deploy it broken.
The new installer does not give me the option anymore to configure automatic security updates, it does not allow me to set time zone, it forces me to use lower case host name which I then rename later. It does not allow me to select the standard services in a simple and nice way and the cherry is the fully broken support for software RAID over Intel RST which worked fine in 14.04 and 16.04 (and also 18.04 alternate). Many thanks though to the person who decided to still provide the “Legacy” installer. And maybe the same person is wise to kill the new installer and put the developer to do real work
