I mean btrfs or zfs. Just like auto-tiling, once you have it you'll have no idea how you lived without it.

suppose I recreated my desktop with zfs rather than ext4. What wonders could I expect? :)

The main ones I use are:

* make automatic snapshots that you can recover data from as necessary, and have them be created every time the system updates (I've needed to use this once)

* have those automatic snapshots be auto synced to my NAS, creating a backup (also used this once when my hardware failed)
