I did not see any option to do other than the brtfs setup. Was seeing the 2T nvme as being full, since all partitions were used, so I just selected use entire disk, so it erased the whole disk, and only showed brtfs option. Might have just missed it. Thought I had seen a message saying that if doing a clean install it would now only do brtfs, and since I select use entire disk.
