I’m using Debian 12, and I’ve been thinking about finally moving from ext4 to btrfs, I was wondering if I should expect issues trying to do this since I have full disk encryption enabled. I have roughly 50% free space available, if that matters. Planning to use btrfs-convert to do it if it’s possible with this situation.

Is this something worth spending time on, or will I have a much easier time just backing up all my data and reinstalling from scratch to do this? It’s just a regular daily desktop, nothing mission-critical.

Edit: After reading all the replies, I’m gonna give it a try. I already have weekly full system backups, but I’m gonna take an extra one right before doing it, just in case, and if it goes wrong I’ll just do it on a fresh install.
