   Time to Change The Default Linux Filesystem (Ext4) With ???
   
   Linux distributions have relied on Ext4 as the default filesystem for years—but is it time for a change? Btrfs offers advanced features like snapshots, compression, and self-healing, but is it stable and reliable enough to become the new default?

     @j
     ext4 still works better than btrfs

     @icedquinn @j I haven't had a catastrophic btrfs failure for over a year now, things are looking up. of course, I switched most of my stuff to zfs and only have a few btrfs systems left

     @j people are running butter in production so yes.
     
     i think bcachefs will be better when it gets snapshots since the guy seems very committed to a next gen filesystem. but we'll have to slap a secretarial condom on the guy because he won't play nice with the linux foundation :/
