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.
People pretend Ubuntu is this great thing but in reality it hasn’t been great in 15 years.
@possiblylinux127 @drspod Expect a comment like this from Lemmy, bet you’re running Windows 11, I’ve got servers running Ubuntu 24.04, 22.04, 20.04, Debian Bookworm, Mint, MxLinux, Zorin, Fedora, Alma, Rocky, and Manjaro, the Ubuntu machines consistently give me less headaches even though I do have to purge them of snapd.
Out of all distros I’ve tried over the years, Ubuntu has always been the buggiest by far.
