@1Naim What should be for done Updates for Handheld section and Add btrfs snapshots support via snapper (cachyos-snapper-support)?

[1Naim]

Add btrfs snapshots support via snapper (cachyos-snapper-support)

I think we can just add this in post-install. I've checked the package in the past so the only step needed is to just install it.

Updates for Handheld section

Sorry, I'm not sure.

Apologies if I should have made a different issue for this, but there is a bit of relevance. Also apologies if wiki does not quite reflect current status, trying to brush up before jumping into CachyOS.

I feel like there is a little bit of conflicting info in the wiki. BTRFS is suggested as default for its features. However, systemd-boot also seems default, while not supporting BTRFS features.

Assuming most modern machines are not BIOS only. I get in reality people are likely to be dual-booting, but in the situation they aren't...

https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/boot_managers/#tldr

Choose GRUB if the used machine is BIOS only, pick rEFInd if planning on having multiple operating systems on the machine (Especially Windows), otherwise go with systemd-boot.

https://wiki.cachyos.org/installation/filesystem/#tldr

Use the default filesystem BTRFS as it is considered stable and has a lot of neat features (snapshots, compression, etc).

Yeah, I feel similar. Limine sounds like a good choice, but I'm not technically knowledgeable about it, so no idea if it can be recommended as a default bootloader. I use it without any issues myself for a while now.

That TLDR could be misleading, but FYI all boot managers support dual booting, so there's not much of an issue there.

However, systemd-boot also seems default, while not supporting BTRFS features.

If you're talking about snapshots then yeah, we don't have an integration for it yet in systemd-boot. However, I do have a working PoC (obviously it's incompatible with what CachyOS is using).
