From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well since so many people recommend btrfs because "it have never lost any data for me". I want to suggest OP to never use btrfs ever. Because it has lost my data, at least three separate times, the most recent time a week ago. And it's not because of a power loss or anything, it just corrupted my files for absolutely no reason at all.
Stay away from btrfs at all costs.
"It's never lost data for me. Yet" is what they mean.
I totally agree, the only file system I've lost data with as a result of a file system corruption not caused by hardware errors or power problems in 35 years has been btrfs. FAT even served me better.
I always go LVM + BTRFS these days. I simply love the versatility.
EDIT: DO NOT DO THIS LMAO, JUST USE BTRFS, I AM SO STUPID
I'm curious, why do you use LVM with BTRFS and not just use BTRFS built in subvolumes?
Because I'm stupid and like to run my partitions across multiple drives. π
I've always used XFS on spinning drives and F2FS on SSDs. No issues, they're very solid
Just a heads up if your SSD has issues or you lose power your data is gone
I like btrfs but only cause it got transparent compression. I don't need the extra disk space and it only helps a bit but I just think it's neat
If you're on spinning rust with a modern CPU, compression actually helps your read/write speeds quite a bit. It's faster for the CPU to compress/decompress then read/write less data because hard drives are so slow in comparison.

FS is for nubz, do these instead:
Read
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdout
Write
dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/sda
BTRFS for the OS partitions, ext4 for /home, tmpfs for /tmp. I rarely need to use snapshots, but I do use a rolling release. It's one of those things you don't need until you really fucking NEED it. Tumbleweed support is great - I can roll back a bad update in about as long as it takes to reboot.

ext4 for system partitions and zfs for anything dedicated to personal data storage.
