Re: Updating docs for Btrfs by default

Hi Docs group.
Hi Chris

I have started to read the text below and I may I present some feedback.

I have a slight rephrase of a sentence
BEFORE

Some screens will be automatically configured depending on your hardware and the type of media you used to start the installation. You can still change the detected settings in any screen. Screens which have not been automatically configured, and therefore require your attention before you begin the installation, are marked by an exclamation mark. You can not start the actual installation process before you finish configuring these settings.

CHANGE GO BACK to return
If you incorporate the above change,  there is a "go back"  that could be replaced with "return" in the following

The terminal multiplexer is running in virtual console 1. To switch from the actual installation environment to tmux, press Ctrl+Alt+F1. To go back to the main installation interface which runs in virtual console 6, press Ctrl+Alt+F6.

Software Selection

My experience with anaconda is:
If you select too many groups (eg all) to install, anaconda will definitely crash before completing the installation. Users should be cautioned to not install more than the necessary groups, and complete the installation of the remaining groups post installation  (sudo dnf group list). 

From what I read below, it is very very well written and accolades to those who were the authors/editors

Hi,

This doc is in need of updating for the Btrfs by default feature
approved for Fedora 33:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BtrfsByDefault

I can fork https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/install-guide and submit
PR's. But I don't think that method is interactive, i.e. it's pretty
much accept the PR or reject it, correct? Any other ideas?

I've identified these specific areas:

- Automatic partitioning -  should say Btrfs instead of LVM
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-storage-partitioning

- Some partition types - notably the /boot and /usr directories and
the BIOS Boot and EFI partitions - can not be placed on Btrfs
subvolumes. Use standard physical volumes for them (or an LVM logical
volume for /usr). See
Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning-recommended
for more information.

- Ext4 is the default and recommended file system used by Fedora
Workstation and Cloud.

- Advice on Partitions

- Recommended Partitioning Scheme (recommendations, sizes all need updates)
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning-recommended

- Manual partitioning should say Btrfs instead of LVM
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f32/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning

- Silverblue
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/installation/
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/technical-information/#filesystem-layout

- swap - based on your system parameters
    - unrelated to btrfs, but needs updating for swaponzram feature
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwapOnZRAM


Original list and discussion appears here:
