A Windows/Mac app that would guide users through this could also use a disk image we prepare, and then grow it to fill the space. Since we use Btrfs now, we can drastically simplify all this orchestration since we only work with one real partition, and manage everything else internally with Btrfs subvolume orchestration from the Linux side. That would even take Anaconda out of the picture. :) -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
