From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm sure a lot of them existed 10 years ago but today it is a really good FS. I'm using btrfs on my server and laptop for a few years and had 0 issues. Today's opinions on largly btrfs base on bugs and FUD from the past which is a shame.
Except RAID5 and 6. Don't use them with btrfs :)
