Not a tech support question, I’m just curious. I recently installed it. Everything is working great, feels like I got a whole new laptop compared to my previous setup. I haven’t tried out any of btrfs’s unique features, so I dunno, nothing special I can report about it. Coming from Debian I was just surprized by how different Fedoras installer defaults are. Do you agree with btrfs being a default option?

    Does it do like openSUSE and create the subvolumes and snapshots for you? Because I dread configuring these freaking things from my days in Arch, and I fell in love with openSUSE when I realised it does it for you.

    (And no, the archinstall script doesn’t autoconfigure BTRFS unless you wipe your entire disk)

      I was pleasantly surprised to learn this with openSUSE as well last week. It already saved my buttocks once when I messed up something with the greetd config file. Recovering from the latest working snapshot was easy. OpenSUSE is a very nice distro. Bought some merch to support them a bit.

      Only @root and @home, no automatic snapshotting by default. I’ve been using “BTRFS assistant” to set them up
