What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

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 wasn't cool enough to figure out how to "just boot into a snapshot" when I tried btrfs a while ago. I mean I did figure it out (maybe?) but somehow the read/write rights where messed up and the snapshot couldn't actually boot/I wasn't able to log in +___+ Just reinstalled the system eith good old ext4. It sounds really cool, though ...
Well, sounds like a setup or distro issue. It should work without problems on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint. Linux Mint even really supports it as a setup-less default with TimeShift
Fedora out of the box just works
