I just did a clean install on a backup notebook of the same type Dell 
Lattitue 5580. 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. 

Will try created a new Fedora 42 install with Virtual Box, and see it 
it shows it.
