From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wow my favorite FS is still being developed. Nice
I understand ext4 being dependable, but favorite? I'm curious what makes it your favorite.
Is dependable not a good enough reason to be someone's favorite?
That's fine, I just consider that the absolute bare minimum for a FS to be usable.
It's stable and well refined. Imo these are the most important things for a file system.
Sure, yeah, I would say you should only trust stable, well refined filesystems as a daily driver. Which is why I was curious what set ext4 apart from the rest for you.
