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 😃

    Agreed, ext4 is a perfectly fine default for the os. Xfs is also a good choice. I have my os on ext4 and data on xfs and I’ve never had issues. My only headache is LVM, because I don’t actually need the additional flexibility it offers. (And mdraid is flaky, but I think that’s because of how I set it up. Maybe you aren’t supposed to use a whole drive, you’re supposed to partition it first?)

      Correct, you want partitions. Some motherboards will helpfully “fix” your partition table when they see that.
