Btrfs gets a bad rap sometimes but I have been using it for years and it works very well. It is able to take failing hardware and power outages and still has good performance.

What are the alternatives to it? NTFS? EXT4? ExFAT? FAT32??
xfs. ext4 doesn’t have a comparable feature set, and nobody is going to use those others as their main filesystems on Linux. bcachefs will be a contender, once it’s included in the kernel, or if you’re the sort who compiles their own kernels.
The only file-system that is somewhat comparable to btrfs is OpenZFS. Xfs isn’t.
Yeah, zfs is what I meant. Or yfs, as in “Y-use anything but btr-FS?”
Seems like zfs or btrfs?
At least I usually read about storage file system usually being ZFS by default.
ZFS has been around for a long time. Rock solid w RAID. See FreeNAS. ZFS was orig on BSD but AFAIK got ported to Linux a while back.
It now TrueNAS and both freebsd and Linux use the same implementation (openzfs)
