Mint automatically creates a @home sub volume if you install your root in a Btrfs partition. Just saying.

Yeah, Ubuntu does it as well. But other distros not based on Ubuntu, don't.

Well, openSUSE did it long before everyone else. So, Debian, Fedora, Arch?

I would kind of be surprised by Fedora, too, as I thought, they shipped out-of-the-box automatic snapshotting, but the comment from @[email protected] sounds like that is still a problem...

Yeah i was surprised as well) thought automatic btrfs partitioning by fedora gui installer would suffice, but it's not, it did not had subvolumes set after installation, so timeshift btrfs didn't worked, after i set subvolumes timeshift started working, but after update from 38 to 39 everything broke and locked up my ssd

OpenSUSE does this as default, which is laudable. Mint will only use Btrfs if you manually tell it to, it just handles it gracefully once you do choose to use it.

Arch, probably not, Void, most definitely not.
