Description Neal Gompa 2025-02-23 19:21:39 UTC
When starting Anaconda from a live environment, the installer doesn't start maximized, and due to lack of decorations and such, it is an unusable small window that prevents reading and navigating the UI properly.

This is fixed with COSMIC 1.0 Alpha 6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up Fedora COSMIC live ISO
2. Start Anaconda

Actual Results:  
Anaconda starts as a small window

Expected Results:  
Anaconda starts maximized
