I am currently playing around with Fedora (and i love fedora; the funny thing is that the default Workstation image has a “less bloated” (using Arch talk ) image than the Arch default Gnome packages (I think it actually contains about half as many programs as the Arch Gnome package)).
Point is I know I will sooner or later come back to Arch, I always do.
However, the Anaconda Installer is actually very powerful, to the point that if you chose manual partitioning you can actually create a subvolume setup on Btrfs any way you want it. Including naming them according to Ubuntu Btrfs standard (which is what Timeshift requires; all subvolumes must start with the symbol ‘@’, something the automatic Btrfs setup in RPM based distros doesn’t do).
Now, since i use Timeshift for my snapshots and not Snapper, I only really need @ and @home, and no encryption.
…And I am sure it is easy but my head is, easily distracted. It seems a slightly simplified version should be possible with just @ and @home, no encryption.
Edit: Sometimes my brain just don’t want to follow instructions even tho I want to. I have set up btrfs with subvols in pure (manual) arch install, so it’s not a laziness issue.
