I realize my comment sounds like throwing shade onto the great file systems in the linux space.

I just wanted to point out, that when it comes to file systems you probably want the "old and stuffy" one because it has ben tested by time and you won't lose your data.

    choice is king

    for some things, sure... but for other things i'll take snapshots, dedupe, etc... i'll put my system disk on a fancy new filesystem and keep my user data on something more mundane for sure! that allows snapshot and restore of major upgrades with basically no effort
