Maybe Facebook only use a very limited subset of the functionality offered by Btrfs, so for them it works very reliable because they never do anything, they never use chmod, fsck, mount, unmount or restart or anything, all they do is read and write and have infinite uptime.Last edited by iruoy; 27 October 2020, 11:59 AM.

Contrary to popular belief, most people don't use databases on their desktops. ;-)

Originally posted by dylanmtaylor View PostI love Fedora, I really do, but the biggest con I have noticed is being able to find and install software from repositories, not just websites that happen to have an RPM version. Plenty of things I use frequently are hard to find and I miss the AUR so much. Namely VS Code/Atom, Discord, Bitwarden, Teams, Chrome (available from the website), TeamViewer, etc. I feel like Fedora would be a very excellent operating system that I could use on a daily basis if there was more software availability for it.
They work great and always improving.
They are also consistent across distributions.
I recommend you try them out:
Find and install hundreds of apps and games for Linux. Enjoy Firefox, Telegram, RetroArch, GIMP and many more!
I do believe Flatpak and similar technologies will prevail on the long run and will provide benefits on desktop.

But mostly, when it comes to SQLite just make sure your application is using Write-Ahead Logging which is much friendlier for CoW filesystem. See my earlier post for benchmarks.

This is a very good article on why they're using btrfs and for what machines. They didn't mention anything about databases.
