Btrfs should've been Wayland (self.linux)

I think the problem with btrfs is that it entered the spotlight way to early. With Wayland there was time to work on a lot of the kinks before everyone started seriously switching.

On btrfs a bunch of people switched blindly and then lost data. This caused many to have a bad impression of btrfs. These days it is significantly better but because there was so much fear there is less attention paid to it and it is less widely used.

what ZFS situation?

I'll keep it brief. But it comes down to the fact that, out of the more popular distros, it's only officially supported on Ubuntu.

i've found to work without issue on Fedora, Arch and Ubuntu so maybe it's supported very well
