But restoring home subvol worked just fine though.

Anyways I should look what’s up with refind-btrfs. Probably just gonna switch to grub.

I use rEFInd. And installed refind-btrfs and it didn’t do anything.

Also I use BTRFS assistant with snapper.

I’ve found it on ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db.

Btw, do you know where the KDE Plasma clipboard data is saved ? I’ve been using that as mini watch later list 😅

Thank You. I’ve looking for this forever.

I’m not seeing any options to select a particular subvolume for installation.

Also, my entire BTRFS partition is LUKS2 encrypted.

Looks like I have to do this for every game separately.

There is no lutris directory in .config. Some other person said it is available on ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db. I cannot confirm it right now, because I am on limited connection.

Also, I don’t have separate home partition. But I do have a separate home BTRFS subvolume though.

Is it possible to install OS on particular subvolume while leaving others untouched? (Calamares installer - CachyOS)

It simply restarts.🙂

Short Answer: No, kernels are not snapshot ted

Long Answer: It’s bit weird in my case.

Boot, EFI, Root are three separate partitions in my case.

Root mounts to /

Boot mounts to /Boot

Efi mounts to /boot/efi

It is this way because when I initially partitioned the EFI, I gave very less storage. But linux kernels are bigger than that. So, either I have move the partition. Which I didn’t prefer because It’ll take a lot of time and it said possibility of data loss.

So, I simply created new partition.

By default, CachyOS only snapshot /@ and /@/home. Which didn’t include /boot because it’s a separate partition it’s own and not even BTRFS.

Yeah. I’ve been thinking about going back to Mint too. But the only thing stoping is that Arch is rolling distro. Which means I can get updates sooner. I mean linux gaming is getting better every day. I didn’t like to be on lag for a year of improvements. Also Vavle investing lot on Arch.

I chose CachyOS, because it is made for gaming, it has decent GUI tools of its own and on top all that it’s still Arch btw. So I can get benefits of Arch too.

Rolling distro can be both boon and bane. And now it didn’t end up very well for me.

If you mean to ask why do i have to restore snapshot in the first place, I updated the system. And I didn’t like the new update. First thing I noticed is Brave replaced all my group tabs to new tabs. When I searched about it, I came to know it’s a common , critical issue that still haven’t been solved🤦🏽‍♂️.

Also Brave is now significantly slower now.

I also noticed few are wierd or not there at all. ( Plasma 6.3.1)

Please look at this reply https://programming.dev/post/26092542/15311163

First of all thanks.

1. I booted live Mint.

2. Mounted btrfs partition.

3. I renamed the backup (snapshot that btrfs assistant created while originally restoring before) to @.

Now my system boots but .snapshots are in original @ (which now I renamed as something else). I want those snapshots or delete altogether (for freeing up space).

1. I tried to rsync old snaps to new @. It worked, but now I have delete the snaps from old @ (source of snaps). Which I cannot do for some reason. It says read only file system. I typed sudo btrfs property set -ts /path/to/snapshot ro false it retuned error cannot retrieve properties

2. Then I tried to delete .snapshots subvolume altogether, but it says directory not empty.

I used sudo btrfs subvolume delete /path/to/.snapshots

(.snapshots is a separate subvol mounted on old @ subvol)

Now I have a working system but all my old snaps are stuck on old root. Which I cannot delete.

Idk what to do.😵‍💫

It does match.

I included refind_linux.conf and partition UUID already. Should I include fstab too?

Journal is 2667 lines 🥲

Please look at edited post.

1. I just used BTRFS Assistant to restore. I did while the OS is on.

2. I shared some on edited post. Pleae look.

3. Idk for sure. But it shows my user name after I enter password. So, I think root?

UUID remains unchanged. And matches with both fstab and refind_linux.conf

Please see edited post.

Please see edited post.

did you try to restore the root partition while it was mounted to root?

If you mean to ask if I restored the OS subvol while I am on the OS itself. Then, yes.

But, I’ve done this before and it worked just fine.

Maybe boot up a linux from USB and restore the root partition from there?

(from live mint) I tried to rename the @ (root) to @_2 and original subvol backup to @. And booted. OS successfully boots. But now my root partition is @_2, which should be @ ?

And the OS was in the state of prior restoration i.e. after system update.

Also please look at the edited part of the post

Not yet.

I kindly request you to see the edited post too.
