Note though that the Server installer does not use the same default
filesystem layout as Everything, due to Server Edition preferring the
XFS+LVM layout. So it's not going to be the exact same experience.

For that I'd normally get the iso, and install the system using Anaconda. But that isn't provided anymore, and the Everything installer is also not mentioned anywhere. So if I didn't know my way around, or was new to Fedora, I would have thought it's no longer an option. Even though it is and works perfectly fine.

That's a double-edged sword: yes, it has all the latest updates. At
the same time, that means it's not as rigorously tested and updates
may have introduced issues into the install process.
