On Fedora, Btrfs has been the default for years now iirc. It's modern and rock solid too (as long as you avoid Raid 5/6) and has some features I can't live without nowadays:

  • Copy-on-write (prevents file duplication)
  • Snapshots (your systems broke? most easy rollback you will ever experience is with Btrfs in combination with Timeshift)
  • on-the-fly compression (I'd recommend "--compression-force=zstd:3" as a mount option. Last I checked Fedora defaulted to using the lowest compression level, which is not the Btrfs default, making you lose some gains. FYI about the "force": btrfs by default checks whether a file is compressible or not, this is redundant with zstd, which does the same thing but quite a bit faster AFAIK)

FILE, File, file, and FilE should all be the same thing at all times.
