You had it right until the “create a new one” bit.
You can choose empty space instead of a partition and the setup will create the partitions for you. I mean even if you were to choose a partition, I believe it’ll delete it and create new ones because it needs more than just one partition. So on a clean disk, you can pretty much just hit next at that bit.
Aand why the hell does it do that? And why the hell count is more than one?
And while we are at it, what is so deadly and frightening with Linux installer creating a partition?
I mean it creates an EFI partition unless you have one, a recovery partition, and a… whatever the fuck an MSR partition is. It stands for Microsoft Reserved I believe, and should be 16 MB nowadays.
And then there’s the one partition that your OS goes on, the C:\ partition.
I mean you still have a separate EFI partition under Linux. Personally I also have a separate /home partition which is heavily recommended in case you nuke your Linux either on purpose or accidentally. You may also want to create other partitions, like swap, though I just have a swapfile.
Is the an installer that only creates only one partition, no EFI system partition?

Lolwat. Last time I installed windows it literally created 3 partitions exactly when I told it “this clean disk - here ya go”
That’s exactly what I said, it creates its own partitions if you make free space or already have a clean disk. No need to manually make a partition.

which is so much better and intuitive than Linux installer creating exactly one partition, right?
