Fedora uses BTRFS but…
Fedora indeed uses the BTRFS system but Timeshift was created with Ubuntu-based systems in mind and the default sub-volume name layout in those systems starts with “@” i.e. “@” for the root sub-volume and “@home” for the home sub-volume.
Fedora uses BTRFS but doesn’t use this naming scheme for its sub-volumes “by default”, you have to manually configure the sub-volumes to match the layout compatible with timeshift.
