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 😃

      Also taking f2fs for a spin.

      As far as I have experienced (I didn’t measure this): don’t use that partition for container layers. It might just be my system, but f2fs has slowed my container engine down a bit.

        I excactly doing this. I run coreOS with f2fs and it runs really fast. No issues so far.

        For interoperability, yes. But with flash devices I mean ssd and nvme.

          If you are using the drive between Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android, exFAT is going to be the supreme choice. It is what I use for flash sticks and external HDDs.
