Since I couldn't find a more relevant thread, I will ask it here. Which is the best Linux file system for general use on a desktop PC? Based on my limited research, xfs seems to be the best choice overall. Link: https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-58-filesystems/2

I have always just used ext4 but I would like to hear whether xfs or btrfs are better than good old ext4 (OpenZFS would probably be better than btrfs since it's more stable but it has pretty much same features). Also, is F2FS useful for SSDs? I heard that some Android phones use it. But I have heard that F2FS has some data corruption problems but I don't know if it's just FUD? Also, Would ZFS/Btrfs cause less wear on a SSD vs. ext4 or xfs?

1 more question: I have heard that Linux JFS has lower CPU usage (and thus power consumption) on laptops vs other file systems but is it true? I have also heard that it doesn't like power outages at all (probably because it's enterprise quality?). Also, I don't know if it would be wise to start using JFS now because it may get deprecated soon, like MurderFS: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Possible-Orphan-JFS

Any answer and/or pointers are much appreciated! Thanks!
