@Natanox I generally recommend ext4 + rsync for desktops if stability is the key. Btrfs is close, though. Particularly if you're on a distro that's got good documentation on it.

Right now I'm trying btrfs on my regular desktop for the first time, and it's not terrible.

I tend to think ext4+rsync are easier in a disaster recovery scenario, and they're still dirt easy to test. That's a subjective opinion though.

Btrfs is perfect in that escene. Distros as @opensuse can combined with zypper and Grub2 to make automatic snapshots, so you can boot any snapshot selecting it in the Grub menu.
The bigger problem I have right now using btrfs in home too is that indexers as baloo duplicate the file entries 🤣

And with SSD and NVME works perfect on the box.

@Lapineige Indexers creates index lists, where each entry it is a file. So you can list, i.ex. all document files in your disk. But indexers as Baloo can't avoid create one entry any time you reboot as the file is modified. If you list all your documents, you'll see each document appears any times.
