Yeah. I only use it in Fedora because it was one of or the default partition scheme or the recommended one, can’t remember. But I’m impressed with it, actually. Enough to make me try to learn the basics, in case I have to install another distro.

Fedora adopted it as default with Fedora 33. SUSE has been using it as default for many years now. Facebook is one of the largest users and contributors to btrfs. It’s a solid filesystem when it’s not used to do things it warns you not to do.

It’s not that I don’t trust it. I’m sure some years ago it was the base of some distro in my laptop. The thing is I’m more old school in terms of filesystems and partitions. I need to learn how to use it properly to enjoy its advantages.

I was just adding context to the Fedora part of your statement. Honestly, Fedora has some work to do in order to really leverage it fully. When they fully integrate snapper, or something like it, then it will be actually using the benefits of btrfs imo.

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.
