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 have 3 drives in my pc. I have btrfs for root so I can do my snapshots, and the rest are on ext4. I've heard very good things about xfs, too, but I'm more familiar with btrfs and ext4
I've got a similar setup, but my non-root SSDs are F2FS.
How's F2FS been treating you? I've been wanting to get into that. Also, why not for your rootfs?
I haven't had any issues with it so far, but I like having snapshots incase I need to rollback an update or something so that's why BTRFS.
I absolutely love my set up. The non root drives are strictly read only since they're mostly to save my games and personal data. Data doesn't really move around much there, so ext4 is working perfectly for me.
