Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍

    None of these problems are really dealbreakers for a consumer-oriented file system in 2023. Not even ext4 supports CoW.

    ReFS is Microsoft’s new file system meant for higher end use cases. It supports many but not all of these advanced features. Starting with Windows 11, you can actually boot off a ReFS drive, though I’m not sure that is a recommended configuration.
