Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4…?

EDIT : Thanks to everyone who commented, I think I will try btrfs on my root partition and keep ext4 for my home directory 😃

    Ext4 is, afaik, the fastest as it’s the most understood

    Btrfs has compression and you can make snapshots to roll back to if something goes wrong (not necessary on immutable distros or NixOS tho)

    There are many other options, but I’ve only ever had a need for those two

        True, but with files, you really benefit from the speed that ext4 provides
