Poll: What should the default filesystem be for GeckoLinux? #210

Closed geckolinux closed 3 years ago

geckolinux commented 3 years ago

GeckoLinux and the Calamares installers supports all the major modern filesystems for Linux in the custom partitioning mode. But when using the "Erase disk", "Install alongside", or "Replace a partition" easy installation options, it currently uses EXT4 by default. Which filesystem would most GeckoLinux users prefer by default? Please note that the option of Btrfs would be a basic configuration with @ and @home subvolumes and no GRUB snapshot integration.

BTRFS is nice, it would be awesome to have that by default with Gecko

I vote for BTRFS.

Love to see btrfs as default too! Voted.

BTRFS with requires subvolumes

maparaschivei commented 3 years ago

Btrfs with transparent compression (à la Fedora 34) would be nice.

geckolinux commented 3 years ago

Btrfs with Zstd compression is now the default for the latest GeckoLinux ROLLING release: https://github.com/geckolinux/geckolinux-project/releases/tag/210519.999
