I’m using EndeavourOS with ext4 file system for daily usage and a dual bootable Windows for gaming. What I want to have right now is getting rid of Windows completely.
When I tried it before, I had to try multiple tweaks for a game and find which one worked on Linux. Therefore, I want to take a snapshot with BTRFS and try it until I find the right configuration.
While I have quite a bit of experience with Linux, I’ve never used BTRFS. Do you think it’s worth it?
I thought about keeping the games on the ext4 system, but I hate splitting the disk. I’m thinking of keeping the games in a non-snapshot volume.
UPDATE: I just re-installed EndeavourOS with BTRFS + snapper + BTRFS Assistant :)
Isn’t arch-chroot a bit different in btrfs?
I think you mean having to mount the subvolumes instead of the partition itself.
This can be done by mount -o subvol=whatever /btrfspartition /mountpoint
After having done that it’s the same.
I don’t know? It’s been a long time since I used Arch, and besides OP is using EndeavourOS so it won’t matter.
EndeavourOS is Arch-based and I’m pretty sure it also uses arch-chroot.
Yeah but when is that gonna matter? It uses a graphical installer so you won’t need to touch the arch-chroot command at all. And if for some reason you do, the Arch wiki is there for you.
