IMHO the openSUSE default of
btrfs is a very good choice for a desktop system, ext4 is no better in general, that's why btrfs *is* the default choice :-)
May I ask why then /home is proposed with xfs ? ;-)
I think because /home has so many quickly changing files it'd produce huge snapshots and fragmentation. It is better to use another tools to backup Your home. When there is no separate XFS /home partition, then there is Btrfs subvolume to exclude snapshoting.
Pretty accurate Also, when you are not benefiting from snapshotting, XFS is a little faster in a broader collection of use cases, such as those you see in /home, so it's a good default choice for /home Personally on my systems with a single disk/SSD I'm BTRFS all the way, because I don't like the additional complexity of managing partitions, especially when btrfs subvolumes gives me most of the controls I actually want XFS is only my filesystem of choice on dedicated data disks Which is pretty well aligned with what the openSUSE default is encoraging.. btrfs for root, XFS for data. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
