I recently found out Fedora defaults to btrfs with zstd compression enabled by default. Seems to work well enough.
On my personal devices I prefer BTRFS' snapshotting ability over the risk of having to restore from backup at some point.
- emacsen 2y agoIs there decent encryption support, or are we stuck using full disk encryption at the block level?

LUKS is good enough for me.

No idea what kind of state it is in currently.
