Installing kde-neon user edition using btrfs for root filesystem

 If you want to install KDE-Neon using btrfs as / filesystem, there is a bug that preventing it to boot successfully to console or to X or Wayland. For simplicity and laziness :)), i won't show here the errors but straight to solution or workaround.

1. Boot to live CD installer

2. Go to Konsole and edit file: sudo vi /calamares/desktop/modules/fstab.conf 

3. find word space_cache and change it to space_cache=v2

4. Start Installer and choose btrfs as filesystem for / 

It should successfully install KDE-Neon and boot to the new system successfully.


That's all there is to it. Have fun
