edit 2: Found a video by “SpaceRex” on the differences between BTRFS and EXT4, super helpful! He explained it quite well…

edit: It seems that there isn’t much difference between btrfs and ext4 aside from additional features of btrfs, which although I might not need right now, there doesn’t seem to be any harm in using btrfs over ext4, so I will be using btrfs.

Which would be better? Fedora shipped with btrfs, does it have any additional features that are good (quick search shows compression, subvolumes, and snapshots as main selling points for btrfs, but are there any downsides?

    wait should I use systemd-boot (default in EndeavourOS) or grub bootloader?

    edit: After a quick search, it looks like it doesn’t really matter. I will go with systemd-boot

      No no no. That won’t work with btrfs snapshots if you’ve had a kernel upgrade. Choose grub from those two
