I've done some digging, but I'm still a bit confused about Linux file systems. I know there are several options available, and I can choose one to use, but what's the main or most commonly used one? Is it really ext4?

For most average desktop users, ext4 is definitely the go-to choice. However, if you're using something like a large NAS, you might see different systems at play. It really depends on the use case!

Absolutely! Definitely stick with ext4 if you're just getting started. Most Linux distributions set it as the default. It's solid and dependable, especially compared to NTFS.

Linux itself doesn't really have a default file system that everyone uses. Each distribution tends to lean towards its own preferences. But yes, ext4 has been the standard for quite a while and is well-regarded for its reliability.

Yeah, ext4 is by far the most common for regular distribution installations. If you're on a Debian-based distro, that's usually what you'll end up with. But XFS is popular in RHEL-derived distributions too.
