I think it is so that the subvolume can be mounted with different options. You can of course have a mixed layout which might be more convenient, so that say root and home subvolumes mount with the same options, but swap mounts with different options. And the top level never gets mounted at all.
<span style="color:#323232;">toplevel (not mounted)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">+-- @ (subvolume mounted on /)
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> +-- home (subvolume, looks like a folder, same mount options as @)
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> +-- usr (folder, gets snapshotted by @)
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> +-- ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">+-- @swap (subvolume with different options, mounted on /swap)
</span>
I set mine up with a purely flat layout so I haven’t verified this is true, but it sounds reasonable.

Screenshot woulda been better just so everyone sees the same thing lol. I wasn’t sure what it would look like because on browser it highlighted some things green, and on Voyager it seems to highlight 4+ space indented as gray. No clue what is going on there :D
vim with :set virtualedit=all gets pretty close being able to “paint” text anywhere… unfortunately i was on my phone and didn’t think to use it
My favourite DE has got to be Cinnamon, as much as I like KDE and XFCE, I prefer the simplicity of cinnamon where as in KDE has a bit too much of everything in the customization scene and XFCE I find a little tricky to get tiling working right....
I’ve had this type of itch to keyboardize my workflow more. I learned about colemak keyboard mods, and started following the rabbit hole haha. Did you design your keyboard pcb too? or just wrote custom firmware?
I think your QMK config counts (for now;)) What are some useful things you’ve changed?
Yeah, im a bit worried about vim binds for alternative layouts as well. I think some people use a layer mod to keep normal mode as QWERTY (or a “normal mode” layer) but insert mode uses their regular layout. Others apparently use their non-qwerty layout for everything (but i guess change hjkl). Apparently it’s not too bad… but probably depends on the person.
XWayland normally runs x11 apps seamlessly (more or less) in Wayland
XWayland rootful spawns a window which is like a virtual monitor running a full x11 session inside it. You spawn apps inside of the window using the DISPLAY variable
Benefit of a subvolume below the top level btrfs subvolume?
According to the archwiki article on a swapfile on btrfs: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#Swap_file...
Bootloader equivalent to Rufus
I’ve been trying to find a linux programming similar to Rufus to flash images of OSes on a thumb drive....
What is/was your distrohopping journey?
