The comment section was pretty entertaining.
Yeah, the typical uninformed FUD with anecdotes of btrfs failing them 15 years ago when they did something that was explicitly marked as experimental 🤦
For every person that complains about btrfs, there are 10 that have been using it since many years with absolutely no issues what so ever.
