Btrfs is on track to becoming 'the' Linux filesystem.

And Manjaro would be on track to becoming DW's #1 distro, if only it weren't for that one major advantage MX-Linux enjoys.

What is it?

I'll leave that for you, by your own devices, to determine.

Has anyone actually looked at the new Manjaro BTRFS layout and can confirm it’s better than what’s suggested in the BTRFS kernel.org wiki ?

I’ve followed the kernel.org guide but also use snapper with grub-btrfs for auto snapshots w/ pacman on Arch and I’d be interested to see if it might be worth changing up my setup. I wonder if it would also be better to use timeshift over snapper...

Couldn't find anything about MX Linux and btrfs, and if doesn't use btrfs by default, despite all the cute things it may offers, that would be a hard pass for me in 2021.

I'll just go ahead and assume it's not "a helpful user community", with attitudes like that...

Yep, I'd have to agree. Maybe he is an Archlinux user in disguise.

Seems like I'm already on it.
That's the thing about rolling releases, you don't really pay attention anymore to the version you're using. It just flows naturally.

He probably talks about that MX Linux is one of those distros for people who dislike systemd for the sake of disliking systemd.

I don't know why people would prefer to let a thousand shitty shell scripts do their init, but who am I to judge
