ext4 and btrfs are continuously developing.

You still have the option to use ext4, can't imagine they will stop supporting it

>Fedora has moved to Btrfs

(Sigh)... Another reason to move away from Fedora.

Funnily enough, BTRFS and ZRAM out-of-the-box are the reasons I moved to Fedora for all but my main Gentoo/ZFS system. To each their own c:

Would you mind sharing what other features you've found pushing you away from Fedora and why? For my part, I'll admit, BTRFS and ZRAM both work against hibernation out-of-the-box, which is my most major gripe.

Neither Btrfs nor zram-based swap, inhibit hibernation. There is a kernel lockdown policy that inhibits hibernation when UEFI Secure Boot is enabled.

Since the hibernation image is neither encrypted nor signed, it's a potential attack vector to subvert the UEFI Secure Boot mechanism. Because UEFI Secure Boot systems are common (Windows hardware certification requires it exist and be enabled by default), it was decided to, by default, save the space on disk for disk-based swap and use zram-based swap instead.

It is straight forward to create a disk-based partition during installation, and it is configured to support hibernation, while still remaining subject to the lockdown policy.

Well why isn't it encrypted or signed?

The work is incomplete. https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/10/601

The Fedora installer has let you choose between ext4 (and ext3 before it), XFS, and BtrFS for like, more than a decade? This should not really influence your distro choice one way or another.

It's defaulting to btrfs, which is a poor decision. If Fedora is making such poor decisions on basic things like default filesystems, that gives me more than enough influence to chose one way or another.

They were all aboard with Stratis, but here we are, btrfs moving back in.

The point of fedora is to be on the bleeding edge and get things tested for blue hat. If this is a problem, choose another distro.

Since you have a new account, I'm just pointing out that shallow dismissals are mentioned in the guidelines (link at the bottom of each page).

Can you elaborate why your disenchanted with Fedora? I'm considering jumping to Debian myself.
