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?

    I have two drives in my machine, nvme and a sata. Nvme is my root partition and it is set to btrfs, because I love snapshots, they are just a must for me. The sata is my home partition and it is on ext4. Ext4 and is tried and true and I don’t want to risk losing my personal files.
