9 months agoIf you’re on spinning rust with a modern CPU, compression actually helps your read/write speeds quite a bit. It’s faster for the CPU to compress/decompress then read/write less data because hard drives are so slow in comparison.

I’m going to go against the flow here and say BTRFS. It’s stable enough to the point of being a non consideration. You get full backups using a negligible amount of storage. Even using it on Windows is easier than using ext4 with the winbtrfs driver.

If you have to read PDFs regularly having a vertical monitor is a lifesaver.
