My rootfs has been btrfs up to 2 days ago, when I switched back to TKFS (The King File System, AKA ext4) because I realized I have no use for the features of BTRFS.
Ext4 can’t detect data corruption while btrfs can. Btrfs has only bee stable for a handful of years now. It had way to many early adopters that were burned

What is the problem with using BTRFS for rootfs?
It tends to break when you force power off the machine in my experience, where ext4 is super resilient to that kind of stuff.
Thats my experience at least.

I think that this form is actually old, from when BTRFS was quite unstable. That point on the list made me chuckle.
