One big thing I'm confused about with the Btrfs subvolumes; when working with regular filesystems like ext3/ext4, I would create a separate /home partition (plus the swap and/or /boot partitions, depending on what that particular generation of HW or OS needed). This way I could do a full reinstall of the OS but leave my home directories intact.
If you create /home as a Subvolume, can you leave that intact while doing a clean reinstall, or would you still need to keep a separate Btrfs partition for /home?

Yes, I prefer IRC as well. Certainly better than Slack (mainly due to Slack's horrid, non-configurable and non-replaceable UI).
Mind you, IRC could be more fun to use if there were clients using the ComicChat "protocol" <g>.
