Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4…?

EDIT : Thanks to everyone who commented, I think I will try btrfs on my root partition and keep ext4 for my home directory 😃

    I like btrfs but only cause it got transparent compression. I don’t need the extra disk space and it only helps a bit but I just think it’s neat

      If you’re on spinning rust with a modern CPU, compression actually helps your read/write speeds quite a bit. It’s faster for the CPU to compress/decompress then read/write less data because hard drives are so slow in comparison.
