Advanced Blivet-gui on Fedora 44 Server vs Calamares

Per Google's AI Assistant report - Blivet GUI is an advanced graphical storage and partition management tool for Fedora, providing a user-friendly interface for the backend storage library used in the Anaconda installer. It acts as a more powerful alternative to GParted, allowing users to create, modify, delete, and encrypt storage devices (LVM, Btrfs, RAID) with a staged, "apply-on-demand" approach.

Key Usage Examples on Fedora:
 Advanced Partitioning: Creating complex disk layouts, including encrypted partitions (LUKS).
 LVM Management: Managing Logical Volume Manager (LVM) structures, including thin provisioning, PVs, and VGs.
 Btrfs Support: Handling Btrfs RAID and subvolume snapshots.
System Installation: Serving as the "Advanced Custom" partitioning option in the Anaconda installer
to configure partitions, swap, or custom mount points. Staging Changes: Modifying storage settings,
staging the operations, and applying them all at once. 

For instance to perform design below  takes just a several minutes ( Fedora 44 Beta Server has been rolled forward up to current state ) . Afterwards KDE Plasma has been setup via `sudo dnf install @kde-desktop-environment`
