I was wondering if anyone here has attempted the new "COW filesystem for Linux that won't eat your data".

It's supposedly has been stable since the start of 2023. I'm willing to give it a try on Arch, but before I do, I'd like to hear if anyone has faced any issues with it.

I want to try it, but I'm definitely gonna wait a while first.

How long do you think?

Until you start seeing its reviews. Or else, you should try using it for data you can afford to lose (unimportant or backed up) - which is what reviewers would be doing anyway.

Probably somewhere between kernel 6.8 and Fedora making it default (that's broad I know). I'm guessing around kernel 7.
