Which file system do you recommend for Linux?

Just a simple question : Which file system do you recommend for Linux? Ext4...?

EDIT : Thanks to everyone who commented, I think I will try btrfs on my root partition and keep ext4 for my home directory 😃

I prefer ext4 on HDD and f2fs on flash devices.

Also taking f2fs for a spin.

As far as I have experienced (I didn't measure this): don't use that partition for container layers. It might just be my system, but f2fs has slowed my container engine down a bit.

I excactly doing this. I run coreOS with f2fs and it runs really fast. No issues so far.

Totally accepting it is my system being slow. It is a openwrt router after all.
