@moritz It does not matter.
What matters is that do I find enough value or gain in btrfs, so that it is worth of trouble solving any possible issues with it.

@moritz I think btrfs is great. I just don't need in on my desktop :-)
I know ext4 well enough that I could probably write myself some code to read a partition if I really had to. Or even fix some mainline bugs because I know how it does what it does in great granularity.
Btrfs is like that I need to call helpdesk or something if it ever flipped on me :-) And not that much interest that I would want to climb to a mountain for the sake of btrfs tbh... My ASUSTOR NAS does use btrfs tho.

@moritz and pretty much anything starting from kitchen toasters can read and write ext4, even Windows can. that's a another huge advantage.
like if your machine breaks, maybe there's only a windows laptop available, no problem with ext4 :-) i'd figure there's some shaky btrfs windows drivers out there too but u know... would not put my life on them :-)
that's why I like also fat and its variants... (exfat is ace).

@gromit It is also for the sake of example interesting.
I've seen mostly either luks1-lvm-ext4 topology with passphrase and luks2-btrfs topolgy.
And I'm going to give a shot on luks2-lvm-ext4, which is something I'm also interested to see if it can work properly.
So it is also "for the benefit of the mandkind" ;-) Not listed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS
Have to give up on archinstall achieve this and make a script.

after some sleep i look into getting UKI on top of this:
❯ cat partition.sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh
set -e
# Partition
sgdisk -Z /dev/nvme0n1
sgdisk -n1:0:+512M -t1:ef00 -c1:EFI -N2 -t2:8304 -c2:pv0 /dev/nvme0n1
partprobe -s /dev/nvme0n1
cryptsetup luksFormat --type luks2 --force-password /dev/nvme0n1p2
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 pv0
cryptsetup luksDump /dev/nvme0n1p2
pvcreate /dev/mapper/pv0
vgcreate vg0 /dev/mapper/pv0
lvcreate -L 80G vg0 -n swap
lvcreate -l 100%FREE vg0 -n root
# Format and mounnt
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vg0-root
mkswap /dev/mapper/vg0-swap
mount /dev/mapper/vg0-root /mnt
swapon /dev/mapper/vg0-swap
mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/nvme0n1p1
mount --mkdir /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
@gromit The reason such a huge swap is that I want to be able to test encrypted hibernate on this :-) or have that option w/o reinstall. So the goal is to get TPM2 encrypted boot on ext4, and arch gives me environment to realize that.
