Yeah, I remember that.

I never do a separate home partition though, so I ended up with the entire disk in Btrfs. I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have when setting up partitions during installation, and didn't totally understand the implications of using Btrfs back then.

Eventually though, it filled up my entire drive with snapshots, causing me much confusion and many disk full errors until I could figure out what had happened.

That experience turned me off from openSUSE for several years, until I finally started using it (with a more conservative choice of Ext4) again for a few machines a couple years ago.

The snapshots in this case come from suse, not btrfs itself. It's their package tooling creating them https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/b...

If you're on lvm, you're still getting snapshots now, even with ext4.
