Before retiring in 2017 after 36 years at college, would usually do a dnf upgrade install on one system, and a clean install on another machine in labs, and compare the differences to see what options were in packages. Sometimes a clean install would install some new packges that s normal update didn't. So, would manually add some or all of them. This time, it gave no option other than the brtfs UUID=e5f816a5-2f9b-4f32-bc08-4435bca1e1ab / btrfs subvol=root,compress=zstd:1 0 0 UUID=3983df11-d173-46fe-9ffc-5a73fe3521ca /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=0C1D-A067 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2 UUID=e5f816a5-2f9b-4f32-bc08-4435bca1e1ab /home btrfs subvol=home,compress=zstd:1 0 0 While my regular setup has the ext4 for most partitions.
