Most likely (16.0) you will have to. And, it means you're going to be on an outdated and unsupported version after 15.5 is EOL and you have to wait for your newer version.

The reasons for picking ext4 over btrfs are not obvious at all. It **is** obvious that the devs/release teams had good reasons to go for btrfs as the default. I have no idea about your reasons, specially since you don't seem to know btrfs.
Most compelling reason for me is the snapshotting feature. It allows me to roll back at filesystem level when I break things. Furthermore the btrfs send/receive to create perfect backups/restores

On the "Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected" message, there can be many reasons/solutions. Google is your friend there.
