I only noted it because I was taken aback that the installer skips certain steps by default. Based on available disk space, the installer might apply various rules to set a better starting point. Some options could include: when free space is below a threshold, use a single partition; otherwise, default to Btrfs and split /home into separate volumes. Stick to no more than N GiB for root and allocate the rest to /home. If there’s enough space for /, consider a balanced 50/50 split. It’s perfectly acceptable since the system already uses LVM. You can later resize volumes and adjust layouts without a full reinstall if you wish. The login manager—often called the login screen software—lets you pick session types. Just remember it might appear as a dropdown in an unexpected corner, and different desktops handle it differently (KDE uses sddm, GNOME uses gdm, Xfce likely lightdm). Probably, the one installed first will take precedence.
