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.

I'm going to switch from BTRFS at some point, but at this point that's going to be a few years down the line.
I'd consider btrfs if they finally make their raid5/6 implementation stable. I want to work with multiple disks without sacrificing half of my storage.
Btrfs shouldn't be used for raid 5/6
@possiblylinux127 @chris Hence their statement "I’d consider btrfs if ...".
