Is there a plan for an immutable version of POP OS?
Same kinda deal with their btrfs snapshots. An announcement that it's coming with a new iso, a couple days of work, and then nothing for the last year.

Pop!OS not setting up subvolumes for btrfs has to be done manually which is a pain.
I've been waiting for this to happen too: https://github.com/pop-os/snapshot

Pop_OS! Devs, it's time to implement BTRFS in the OS .
They are implementing it and have said there will be an iso that defaults to btrfs with snapshots in the near future
- btrfs with timeshift should become the default in Pop

Amiga/Linux: Jurassic Boing Edition
Still got a lot to figure out. This is the first time I'm tinkering with MUI (NGL. It feels like the Win32-esque API that had been missing from GNU/Linux for all these years). Eventually, I'll write an OS installer that will use MUI for the GUI and the excellent distinst for the installer routines.

Activate automatic file system check (proactive maintenance)
I wasn't sure if it is a bug or intended behavior so I shared my thoughts about it on Mattermost and thanks to u/jacobgkau now there is an open issue about it on GitHub.

Are then plans to support btrfs install out of the box?
There is the PR from earlier this year though I am not sure the priorities they have right now, given the new DE work.

Pop_OS btrfs install not working
Besides all is not despair and sadness because there is currently a proposal (https://github.com/pop-os/distinst/pull/286) to add btrfs as a target file system from the installer, so that all the post-installation footwork will no longer be necessary). As you can see it must still go through QA but it's promising!
- 22.04 LTS is here!
