That's true. However, I have seen several people come with problems to the forums, with some breakage or other caused by having btrfs, and when asked, they didn't even know they were using it. They just accepted the defaults. I would, in their place. The most frequent problem is the root partition filling up, and the traditional advice to solve this doesn't work. Snapshots, balancing I don't know what, etc. The cause, IMO, is that the root filesystem when using btrfs should be at least 50 GB, and if that is not possible, YaST should default to ext4 instead. On other occasions the filesystem corrupts, fsck doesn't work, and repair becomes very complicated. Few people know how to repair it (I don't). Some of these people then reinstall using ext4. And this is happening specially to beginners and newcomers, which may be scared by these complications and not use Linux again. IMO, btrfs should not be installed for them, because the toolset is not complete and it is hard to help them. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
