What are Btrfs subvolumes in Linux? Understand how they work and why they are better than traditional partitions with features like snapshots and flexibility.
I wanted btrfs for ages for snapshots… Then I moved to nixos with Declarative config… Then I needed to move partitions to extend my drive into old root, decided to move to btrfs from ext4 cos why not at the time… Only afterwards do I realize snapshots aren’t that helpful when you’re on nixos… Or am I missing something?

They are still useful for user data. For the nixos system itself, not so much.
