Hi bebyx!

I agree.
Ubuntu told me that there are no further updates, and you need to reinstall a newer version to get security updates.
LTS Long Time Support releases are a bit better ... but still.

btrfs should be also fine.
I have a strong feeling that it will be the next "default" file system.
