Kinoite, a KDE (and now XFCE) version of Fedora Silverblue

@siosm - I think there is a problem with the Kinoite F35 ISO. Specifically when installed with the option English → English (United Kingdom) option in Anaconda.

This is how it is showing up. Using the same ISO, installing as English (United States) does not produce this error and looks/works fine. I have not tested other languages. I used the ISO distributed on the Download Fedora Kinoite site, and the sha256 checksum was verified.

This has also been corroborated by this Reddit post.

EDIT 1 (Nov 3 19:48 UTC): This is odd. Subsequent attempts to reproduce this are not working. I can’t work out how/why it happened. For now, I retract my guess that it’s the UK option that is triggering the error.

EDIT 2 (Nov 3 20:32 UTC): I can validate now that this is 100% reproducible if the Time & Date in Anaconda is selected to be Europe/London. Keyboard and Language options do not affect it; just the Time & Date.

EDIT 3 (Nov 3 20:59 UTC): Spot checking Tokyo (UTC +9) and Helsinki (UTC +2) time zones do not replicate this error. Selecting Europe/Lisbon (UTC) does replicate this error. So it seems to be specific to the UTC time zone. Also tested Silverblue 35 install; that does not seem to be affected, so for now it seems isolated to Kinoite.

Temporary workaround for anyone affected would be to install Kinoite by selecting any time zone other than UTC, and changing it back after installation is complete and you log into KDE the first time.
