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 think it was like fedora 32 or 33 they started using btrfs as default. You're a lil behind.

I agree with it though I always have. Fedora has always integrated newer technologies into their distro, usually after opensuse still hahaha. But they were one of the first to default to Wayland and pipewire as well. If it wasn't for distros like fedora and opensuse adopting these as default then, Linux on the desktop would be 10 years behind now
