Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4…?

EDIT : Thanks to everyone who commented, I think I will try btrfs on my root partition and keep ext4 for my home directory 😃

    My short BTRFS history

    1. Installed on a 1TB NVME
    2. used for 2 years
    3. Rebased my system a ton, used rpm-ostree a ton (which uses BTRFS for the snapshots I think?)
    4. Physically broke the SSD by bending (lol used a silicon cooler pad but it bent it) which resulted in hardware crashes
    5. With dd barely managed to get all the data onto a 1TB SATA SSD
    6. dd-ed the SATA SSD onto a 2TB NVME
    7. deleted and restored the MBR, resized the BTRFS partition to max, resized the BTRFS filesystem to max, balanced it

    Still works, never had a single failure
