Which one is the current industry standard? BTRFS or ZFS?

Is btrfs rust of fs? Everyone seems to recommend it, but there's little usage

That image is dumb.
Setting that aside, both are fine, but my personal experience I've never worked for a company that used btfs and only know people at one company where btrfs is heavily used: Meta. It's been some years since I've asked, but I assume they still use it as it seemed like a pretty heavy use?
I have worked for a few companies using ZFS. I know people who work at places that currently use ZFS in their infra. In conversations, most people I have spoken with treat ZFS as the go-to default.
But ultimately both are fine if you know what you're doing, but if you personally have the ability to choose, I would stick to ZFS unless you have a strong reason not to.

so why would i want to switch from the default in linux mint? i forgot what it's called... it has a number at the end of it

ZFS is better. BTRFS has no use case that ZFS doesn't handle better, more gracefully, or more reliably.
>>
>>108115547
Yeah so the adoption is as low as I thought.

The thread is about the current trend and best practices.

>>108115548
You probably have ext4.
If you don't have multiple drives (such as in a laptop), you probably don't get much benefit from either ZFS or btrfs.
Either one can be a good idea on a desktop if you have multiple drives, but if you're not interested in learning the various CLI tools for either one, you won't get the full benefit there either.

ZFS now has vdev expansion, so they're basically identical in features. I think ZFS remote backup capability for encrypted volumes is still superior? There are minor differences, but that's the only one I can think of that even matters?

>>108115548
ext4, which is perfectly fine for desktop use.
Brtfs is good if you have a decent drive that can handle CoW and snapshots, but it and ZFS are just better for multiple drives or servers.
