Fedora 42 installer defaults to btrfs? What's everyone's opinion or experience on that? (slrpnk.net)

Not a tech support question, I'm just curious. I recently installed it. Everything is working great, feels like I got a whole new laptop compared to my previous setup. I haven't tried out any of btrfs's unique features, so I dunno, nothing special I can report about it. Coming from Debian I was just surprized by how different Fedoras installer defaults are. Do you agree with btrfs being a default option?

I'm using universalblue, a Fedora derivative, that defaults to, and maybe requires btrfs, and it's been good. Because it's important for the immutability and atomic updates I kind of feel like I shouldn't do anything custom with it. I haven't seen performance issues or other weirdness. If I had a choice though I would still use btrfs. It makes backups and snapshots very easy.

Ostree should be filesystem independent
