You are mistaken, Skynet isn't supposed to launch the T-1000 until 2029.

the system “functioned as intended,” [...] Baltimore County Public Schools echoed the company’s statement

"We want a system that sends armed cops primed to kill a black student", says the community elected school board. "We believe that's what our racist constituents want", they continued.

Mint installer uses Btrfs if present and defaults to two volumes. Suse Tumbleweed, cited by the author, defaults to Btrfs (and uses it expertly with each update, to allow rollbacks without affecting user data).

My Google fu these days is crap. But the concept is this:

  1. Get an external HD, format it to ext4.
  2. Copy your /home to it.
  3. Make a backup of anything else you find valuable.
  4. Use the distro installer to erase your / filesystem and create another in its place with Btrfs and at least two volumes: one @home and one @.

Instead of relying on the installer for that (many nowadays are simplified and don't offer much options), I like to use a live GParted ISO. The live GParted is a disk recovery/maintenance mini distro that has friendly graphical tools. You put it on a thumb drive keep it around just in case. And it can be used to create new filesystems like above.

Oh, BTW, keep your LVM+LUKS encryption setup. Not a time to be messing with that.

I'd take this opportunity to move /home too its own place. A volume on Btrfs sounds good.
