What filesystem is currently best for a single nvme drive with regard to performance read/write as well as stability/no file loss? ext4 seems very old, btrfs is used by RHEL, ZFS seems to be quite good… what do people tend to use nowadays? What is an arch users go-to filesystem?

    It’s more important to backup your /home than /. /home is where you store your crucial files.

      Yes, that’s true. Then again, I’m mainly using my PC for gaming and most of what will be in /home will be game installs. I have my photos and music backups in a separate HDD.

      I think at the end of the day, what I’m trying to achieve with the btrfs snapshots is to be able to roll back my OS in case a system update goes wrong, or I did something I shouldn’t have. :p
