From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Before setting something up from scratch, why not use btrfs (fedora default) or bcachefs (which is optimized for such loads I think)?
It was my understanding that btrfs is still new-ish and has some kinks to work out. Ext4 is pretty well understood at this point.
I appreciate the context and explanation.
I use BTRFS and even have convenient Snapper snapshotting set up. It works great. Here is a whole step by step guide on how to set up your system with it: https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-with-snapshot-and-rollback-support
No its very well established. In general its just like ext4 but a bit better I suppose. If you do a custom setup you will need to manually setup things like specific caching etc to really use it.
As distros still make you think that (Kubuntu still defaults to Xorg!) of course people think btrfs is not ready, while it never gave me a single problem
