Installing Leap while preserving btrfs @home subvolume (europe.pub)

I’d like to install Leap 15.6 on an older laptop which is currently running Tumbleweed.

I have a single partition with btrfs and the standard subvolumes created during the original Tumbleweed installation.

Can I install Leap while preserving the btrfs @home subvolume? I played a bit the partitioner in expert mode but couldn’t find an obvious way.

Thanks!

Yes, you just mount it as @home and deselect "format partition" option.

    Not just with Zypper, but if you have everything on BTRFS, I have managed to do so using btrfstools while still on MicroOS (which is where I came from) and with guidance of Gemini.
