Oh they think it, but by my experience BTRFS is crap.

This year alone, its managed to "fully compress" open files to 0 bytes about 2-3 times.

Why anyone uses it for / or at all right now is beyond me. I think Novell is nuts here.

The loss of data stored on the rootfs is more of an inconvenience (downtime) than something serious (permanent data loss). Consequently, the data stored elsewhere (e.g. /home) is far more important. If SUSE thought btrfs was stable enough, they would use btrfs for /home.

Suse does use Btrfs for /home..

The last that I checked, SUSE used XFS for /home and others are saying the same here.

Yeah, but is anybody using OpenSUSE? :P

Edit: Wow, I just checked DistroWatch and they've been #4 for some time now...

Most of Europe. At times it feels like there are almost parallel OSS ecosystems on the two sides of the Atlantic.

There are more continents using linux than America ;)

There's a lot of interest in OpenSUSE tumbleweed from what I've gathered.

I'm using openSUSE Leap with a default partition scheme, and it's btrfs all the way down to home.
