Compression is easy to remove. Just remove the ",compress=zstd:1"
part of the entry in the /etc/fstab file. It's not retroactive
though, so any files that are already compressed will stay that way
until rewritten. It's also per subvolume, so if it's only your /home
files that you're concerned about, you can leave compression on for /.
Although given your earlier actions, /home might actually be part of /
now instead of being a separate subvolume.
Thank-you, Samuel.
Ummm... Problem...
Here is my /etc/fstab:
- - - - -
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Sat Oct 4 13:00:59 2025

# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk/'.
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more
info.

I also did an "ls -l /etc/fstab".
The file is dated Oct. 04. So it's still as installed.
What you suggest that I delete isn't and never was there.
Big question:
If I re-install and stick with btrfs, is there a way to turn off the
compression globally during the install process?
It looks like if you manually create the btrfs filesystem yourself
during the install, it doesn't get the compression flags added, so it's
already uncompressed. (I just tested this.) You can use the "compsize"
program to check if files are compressed. "compsize -x /" will check
the entire root filesystem.
