Re: Has anyone tried Deepin?

Re: Has anyone tried Deepin?

Tried to install it but I wasn't aware that it wouldn't support btrfs so I dropped it. But the installer looks very, very nice. Surprisingly enough, it has detected my timezone, and proposed english as first choice. The disk partitioning part is just lovely. It tells you what's on the partition, how ...

Re: What are your favorite sports to watch - and why

I prefer amateur level rather than pro, especially boxing, because it makes you realize how hard and technical it is. When you're only used to watch the pros, you think it's easy and natural, because every move they do is perfect or near perfection. Also, amateur level is much more fun when one team ...

Here's the work around for you. You could just install with /home to the root directory, then add your home folder afterwards via fstab.
As always, thanks for the tip :) (and quick follow up)

Re: the data in /home can not be preserved

Thanks @dolphine_oracle ! So I think the problem is that I chose to install MX Linux over a partition that has already been hosting another distribution with a btrfs filesystem. This means that at the top of the partition there is a "@" folder before the slash "/" folder :

Re: A few remarks about the 18.3 installer
