So the first build has BTRFS and BTRFS is linked to transactional updates. Did it say anywhere that support for your beloved ext4 filesystem will be removed, did it say that a package manager will be removed?
Yes.
Surely the ext4 thing is only for / and related OS related partitions? Some other data disk must surely be able to be ext4. AFAIK, the basic system that is installed "the ALP way" is an image somehow cloned to the hard disk. It is a RO filesystem done in btrfs, so "/" is btrfs, no way out of this. Updates and additions/modifications go as snapshots to this initial image.
That's now it has been for a while if you are using btrfs/snapper. I think it's not a bad thing. It has worked very well for me when a Tumbleweed update borked things. I have never had an issue with btrfs.
Well, I simply do not want btrfs and snapshots. I prefer plain ext4 for "/". That's enough for me to start running away from ALPS.
Having said that, on our data collection disks (not the OS), we prefer ext4. Old habits. And we can mount them directly on Windows (via add-on software). I don't know of an alternative like that for btrfs.
