A new Ubuntu inquiry
A new Ubuntu inquiry
While browsing online, I came across discussions about swappiness, hibernation, and file locations like /tmp, /var, and /boot. Back then, the default setup had just a UEFI and root partition. I thought Linux needs very little space overall. I’m not too worried about these details and might just maintain a separate /home folder.
I wouldn't support this approach because the main advantage of BTRFS on Linux is limited to situations where per-partition encryption is required. Even then, it can still be handled effectively using LUKS containers. The option for creating an instant system snapshot and adding it as a boot choice in GRUB is useful, especially when combined with Timeshift for added reliability.
There’s some confusion here. Ubuntu doesn’t automatically create separate subvolumes like / and /home into distinct directories such as /@ and /@home. This behavior is more about how you configure your filesystem rather than a default setting. Many distributions don’t provide built-in tools for managing SVs (subvolumes) during installation, which might be due to limitations in the software or design choices. It’s possible this feature is missing intentionally, so it’s not necessarily a bug but a design decision.
Hello, thanks for reaching out. It's great to hear you're utilizing the features available in Linux. Appreciate your support!
