I tossed the question in the title to google and the stupid AI recommended a Heroes of the Storm YT video. I'm not sure where to start. Should I start with the campaign or go to multiplayer?
Hello everyone,
I am new to EndeavourOS and Linux in general. I've been reading multiple sources on the web and working to wrap my head around a great many topics. I have a few questions:
There are multiple sources with differing suggested Btrfs subvolume layouts. I prefer to have a flat layout. The pages at the kernel.org System Admin Guide, linked to from the Btrfs Arch Wiki page, are maked as "Obsolete Content".
Should I exclude all of /var or do I need to exclude multiple individual sub-directories within /var? If I need to exclude multiple individual sub-directories within /var, then I need a list of the sub-directories? Since the folders within /var can vary based on the packages installed, would excluding just /var cause problems or come with downsides?
If I decide to use snapshots for my user home directories, as insurance against accident file deletion, are there sub-directories that I need to exclude there?
I have a Btrfs layout listed below, that I would like some feed back on. Am I missing some exclusions? Am I excluding a folder that should not be excluded?
Background Info:
My flat Btrfs layout ideas and naming conventions using EndeavourOS and OpenSUSE (I took inspiration from multiple sources):
EndeavourOS setup:
OpenSUSE setup:
Non-Root Filesystem Data:
2TB NVME (2TB partition/Btrfs filessystem)
4TB HDD (3TB partition/Btrfs filessystem and a chunk of unallocated space):
8TB HDD (5TB partition/Btrfs filesystem and a chunk of unallocated space):
I'm leaving some extra un-partitioned/unallocated space for emergencies and/or experiments I haven't thought of yet (ex: installing a distro to the bare metal for distro exploration/experimentation outside of a VM).

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for EndeavourOS install guides that include details on configuring Btrfs. I want to use snapper and btrfs assistant to handle snapshots. I will be using Grub and I want to have btrfs snapshots in the grub menu.
I just came across SC:Broodware and Star Craft II, and was wondering if I should play SC:Broodwar before playing Star Craft II. It looks like Protoss was the most heavily changed in the sequel. Was the extensive changes to Protoss due to flaws in the original game or just flaws in the protoss faction?
Update:
I posted a reply to the first group of folks who responded in a comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1uuc9f0/comment/ox33i05/
The comment provides additional info. and follow up questions. Original post below.
Should /boot and /efi in a EUFI system be placed on separate partition? If yes should both partitions be fat32 and what minimum size should each be?
A bit of background...
Please forgive me I'm still very new to Linux. I reading and trying to take in many things. I currently have a fat32 partition that is 500 mb and I have it mounted as /boot/efi. I have grub mounted there. So should I have 2 partitions, one for /boot and one for /efi? Should they be mounted independently or should I preserve the /boot/efi path in the mount setup? Should both be fat32 and if yes should both partitions be 500 mb or a different size?

Hello everyone,
I have multiple drives with multiple partitions in a dual boot Linux Mint and Win 11 setup. I'm still quite new so please forgive me if my ideas don't make sense. I'm planning on migrating completely to Linux. I'm trying to wrap my head around a bunch of things and be grounded before leaping forward.
The following is my current drive setup.
Drive-1 NVME 2TB:
Drive-2 4TB HDD:
Drive-3 8TB HDD:
Because I have Linux root and home separate, I can wipe the root and reinstall or roll-back from a timeshift snapshot at will, without any danger of harming my /home. I want to preserve the separation between root and home, and preserve the ability to reinstall, recover, or roll-back at will. All of my data (documents, pics, etc.) currently is on the NTFS data partition on the 8TB. When I remove win 11 any NTFS data partitions will be changed to Btrfs or removed. I want to delete the partitions on the NVME drive and create a single partition that takes up the entire drive (I'll reinstall my games). I think the Btrfs flat approach might be the best option for me, but I'm not totally sure and I'm not sure how to set it up given my drive configuration. I want to be able to mount the Linux steam game partition at /mnt/steam, my data and documents at /mnt/mydata, and the VM partition at /mnt/vm_exp. I think the timeshift snapshots partition would be deleted, since I would switch to snapper.
Questions:
Thanks.
