Not a tech support question, I’m just curious. I recently installed it. Everything is working great, feels like I got a whole new laptop compared to my previous setup. I haven’t tried out any of btrfs’s unique features, so I dunno, nothing special I can report about it. Coming from Debian I was just surprized by how different Fedoras installer defaults are. Do you agree with btrfs being a default option?

    That’s been the default for years

    The big reason is that btrfs has more features like copy on write, snapshots, subvolumes and data validation.

    It used to eat data but that’s not been the case for a few years

      Isn’t that a RAID5/6 thing?
