Since ZFS is the greatest filesystem in the world, I use ZFS -everywhere-. Including, on my very old Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (2013) with a slow dual core, and only 8GB of ram. ZFS works great, on that device I need to manually limit the ARC size so that it doesn't eat all my ram:

  # cat /etc/modprobe.d/tiny-modprobe.d-zfs.conf
  options zfs zfs_arc_max=2147483648
