My hands-on experience with btrfs is limited to one laptop my brother gave me with
openSUSE installed that I only boot 2-3 times per year. My mentioning of the btrfs
command in this thread is based upon years of frequenting openSUSE and Fedora
mailing lists and forums. openSUSE made btrfs its default filesystem somewhere
around 7-8 years ago. I think Fedora made btrfs default more recently. Google &
DDG should be able to provide much better help than I on how to interpret btrfs
command output. So should support@lists.opensuse.org and
https://forums.opensuse.org/c/english/install-boot-login/18 and the comparable
Fedora forums. My own Gnu/Linux installations, other than Knoppix, have always
been on extX.

I suggest Keith's 36G / partition size must be a marginal for btrfs use. IIRC, 40G
may be the officially suggested minimum size for an openSUSE btrfs / filesystem
where /home/ is on a separate (xfs) filesystem. Keith has /home/ within /.

Surely somewhere on debian.org such things must be addressed if Bookworm's default
has also been changed to btrfs.
