Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4…?

EDIT : Thanks to everyone who commented, I think I will try btrfs on my root partition and keep ext4 for my home directory 😃

    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.
