    Meanwhile BTRFS provides me with snapshots and rollbacks that are a useful when I’m messing with the system. And subvolumes bring a lot of flexibility for containers and general management.

      For sure. I would say if you run a distro like Arch, using it without cow filesystem and snapshots is not a good idea… You can even integrate snapshots with pacman and bootloader.

      I’ve been running nixos for so long, that I don’t really need snapshots. You can always boot to the previous state if needed.

      If you write software and run tests against a database, I’d avoid having the docker volumes on btrfs pool. The performance is not great.
