Description
Can the void installed have options for automated paritioning of the disk (similar to arch linux) as setting up different filesystems like ZFS, BTRFS can become tiring and also backup software like timeshift require subvolumes like @ and @home to work properly.
The above is the layout for btrfs which arch linux produces by default if you select to clear the entire disk and select the btrfs file system. ( The last two are for docker container management )
