Can confirm it’s related to the mentioned bug.

If anyone’s running into this issue - here’s a workaround:

  1. Exit the installer by clicking cancel multiple times - it’s going to drop you into a desktop environment eventually.
  2. Open terminal and run the following commands:
    sudo su -; chown -R root:polkitd /etc/polkit-1/rules.d; systemctl restart polkit
  3. Re-start the installer from the launcher menu.

Thank you, @vadim, for the workaround. It worked, and the installation was successful, but…

The problem was the compatibility of my setup. After the restart, it kept asking me for the recovery key.

My PC is probably too old to handle the security stuff.
I’ll go back for Thumbleweed or Leap.

@obrys maybe something didn’t work out when setting up encryption. See this guide if it helps.
Specifically, I’d try to sdbootutil enroll --method=tpm2. You may want to also add a password to not have to type the recovery key during every boot
