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.

Huge news 🎉 Thanks OP for sharing.
It feels like a relief after reading earlier Lemmy comments in other posts about btrfs vs ext4 and having read this Wikipedia page paragraph :
Oh no, wait a minute, I overlooked the next sentence last time 😀 :
On the last system I put together I used xfs because I was thinking ext4 development was waning. TBH I can't really tell the difference in my regular usage.
Word on the street is that xfs sometimes corrupts files, but I'm not sure if that's true anymore.
Maybe on the next system I'll be back to ext4.
Btrfs is newer and has more features
