yeah not really discriptive with the names lol. /mnt/broken/ is where I am mounting my old broken install.

/mnt/old/ is where I am sending the readonly snapshot of /mnt/broken/@home to

here is a lsblk showing that

lsblk -f

So from what I understand of the second article.

what I want to do is create a readonly snapshot of my broken install’s @home

then send it somewhere on my new disk.

then create a writable snapshot of that snapshot at /home/

I had part of my old home on my new disk so it was prob running out of space because of that (i thought the snapshot would be compressed and not be the whole size)

as for the black screen… i rembered my system had an issue where it would crash on suspund and garuda default is to suspend after 15 minutes
