I've been running bcachefs on my main desktop and laptop (My really important data is on my fileserver or in my private git repo (including dotfiles), I'm not crazy) since cachyos made it an install option and it's honestly worked better and caused less problems than btrfs has for me in the past so far. Maybe I was just unlucky but btrfs caused read only filesystem issues and a catastrophic loss on a couple of my computers a few years ago. I am pretty impressed with bcachefs so far.

0 problems in 2.5 months is not necessarily better than 1-2 problems in ~3 years, though. If we're just talking about the single partition boot drive use case, I think I'd go with the option that's had vastly more time to find and eliminate bugs. (If you're conservative about this stuff that probably means ext4, actually.)

I would agree with you if I didn't run my stuff the way I do (and I'd use zfs or maybe ext4). Pretty much all my important stuff is on a raidz6 file server with a secondary backup raidz6 file server locally pulling backups each night and backups being sent offsite streaming throughout the day. My dotfiles are synced to my local private git repo via yadm (although if I didn't have this system running already I would probably take the time to figure out nix home manager instead of yadm right now). I have a bunch of bash scripts I wrote to automate the most annoying parts of reinstalling as well, so what I am really risking by running bcachefs is about a half hour to reinstall cachyos on whatever system eats it and possibly some minor configuration changes I may not have synced to git via yadm yet.

Nice. Its advancement depends on folks like you, so thanks!
