BTRFS as default installation option

[SunnyOd]

Hi,

I have tried the cosmic desktop alpha, the latest one, and it looks like it's not supporting btrfs in the way that Fedora does, yet. I think I saw a ticket or a forum post somewhere from an official spokesperson for System76 mentioning that you would be supporting BTRFS out of the box for default installation so that it works efficiently with Timeshift and other snap applications. E.g. mounting root fs in the "@" subvolume and home in "@home" subvolume. I've tried the workaround for 22.04 found here but when running kernelstub -a "rootflags=subvol=@" -l -s it fails with varous errors and fails to boot. Sorry I haven't got the errors to hand atm but can try again and get them if needed

Hopefully this is something that's being worked on 🤞 and I'll just wait for the official btrfs support?

The desktop looks Shamaaazing btw. Thanks for all the hard work, excited to ditch KDE and possibly even trusty i3

Thanks!
S
