Yeah that's weird when I read about exFAT it seemed like same compability but no FAT32's limitations but in practice that wasn't the case.

Are you sure this is the only good FS? I know it's solid and stable and used for many years as default Linux's FS but I disagree that's the only good one.

Sure.

Bazzite defaults to btrfs and yeah this distro with rolling back changes is on another level.

Well you probably used it if you had any brand new USB as it's the default. I'm trying to flash my USBs for now with exFAT or NTFS...

NTFS is like Windows - the necessity when nothing else will work.

Wait what. exFAT can make you not to worry about eject/umount?

I use it in my work but ZFS seems interesting alternative.

Great! Have you had any issues with this setup?

When you know LVM I think you can manage manual paritioning. :) Especially as btrfs is advertised with snapshots so trial and error is encouraged.

Which RAID? I need to read about SystemD encrypt hooks because I know nothing. Also why not LVM? Is btrfs more flexible in partitioning when you want to extend it or shrink it? I heard that you can merge "partitions" on 2 different disks so they are visisble under one mount point.

That's sound fantastic! Interesting that you didn't mentiona anything about snapshots. Have you had some isshes with BTRFS since then?

Do lsblk -f and you will know for /home or / partitions. But probably yeah. However Fedora uses btrfs as default now so depends on the distro.

Oh never heard of it. How's your environment suited for it then? Give some details please.

usability is a mixed bag

Could you please elaborate?

Tell me about those stories, maybe we can debunk or prevent them today.

From the grub menu or somehow in chroot environment?

Could you please elaborate on doing backups with btrfs?

Yeah I think Ubuntu and Debian based distro prefers it for stability reasons. Fedora I think switched to btrfs by default.

Me too.

How's it better than XFS? I heard same things about it too.

I wouldn't be suprised if that's the case for Windows users.

Never doubted it. Do you use journaling feature on it?

ext4 is virtual only?
