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 have 3 drives in my pc. I have btrfs for root so I can do my snapshots, and the rest are on ext4. I’ve heard very good things about xfs, too, but I’m more familiar with btrfs and ext4

          I haven’t had any issues with it so far, but I like having snapshots incase I need to rollback an update or something so that’s why BTRFS.

        I absolutely love my set up. The non root drives are strictly read only since they’re mostly to save my games and personal data. Data doesn’t really move around much there, so ext4 is working perfectly for me.
