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 :)

      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.
