steamos-btrfs VS rwfus

Seems theres some work needed for it to work with btfs, perhaps someday. It seems it can work with btrfs, but there can be some issues. https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs

I followed a guide to install BTRFS support and successfully converted my /home directory and SD card. However, I encountered an issue where all games using Proton stopped working. I attempted to resolve this problem by changing the Proton version (stable, experimental, GE) and reformatting the SD card to Ext4. Interestingly, native Linux games are functioning correctly. Logs aren't really helpful:

did you properly set up the btrfs script on the Deck in order to do this or did you just reformat it as btrfs without any preparation?

i use btrfs for my steam deck windows dualboot and it works great for storage sharing. I already ran this script to convert the sd card a while ago and it worked perfect, but now I want to do it again and this time make use of the script's feature to have a btrfs /home so i can access the ssd's storage on windows. however, when I run the script again, it opens a window asking "select the rootfs devices to install into" and a bunch of long file directories i don't understand. have i just missed the boat for a btrfs ssd, and i shouldve done it at first setup?

Ahh, that's a huge peace of mind! Which method of setting up btrfs would you recommend? I found the old btrfsdeck repo, which pointed to this new one.

Btrfs is a filesystem which supports copy on write and filesystem-level compression, both of which combining to potentially very large storage space savings. If you're interested, there's a program which can convert the Deck's /home partition to btrfs here: https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs

You can use https://github.com/ValShaped/rwfus

Reason is, that valves os is based on arch linux, but they locked all the system partitions down to read only. You can unlock them or use tools to lay a fake redirect layer over them (see: https://github.com/ValShaped/rwfus), but thats advanced users stuff.

I use this with regular steamos works between channel switches on 3.5 https://github.com/ValShaped/rwfus

I'm using rwfus

I'm using rwfus to create an overlayfs over the rootfs so that packages and other changes persist across updates

I also might want to install a few other basic tools going forward, so rwfus was a great choice.
