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’ve been on BTRFS for like 3 years now, and I use my main driver for linux gaming. It’s fine. The only downside with BTRFS I’ve seen is it can like, lose sanity if something goes wrong on dismount, and then it takes like 3+ extra mins per boot, but it seems to be able to work itself out after enough mount/dismounts, although I’ve read that can be permanent and then you need to blow away the whole volume or deal with it.
