Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
Btrfs is a filesystem just like ext4, you can mount the root subvolume and upload all files somewhere.
Timeshift is not a backup solution though. Snapshots are built-in with btrfs. So you can install a snapshotter tool like Snapper. But it would be best if you already have partitioned you btrfs filesystem into multiple subvolumes. Like the suggested layout.
Yep, I’m using Snapper, and thank you for the link. I always forget how good the Arch wiki is. I’m going to start checking that first now.
