however...

I know that Ubuntu, by default, uses ext4
CachyOs can use anyone of btrfs, xfs, or ext4 I doubt that they defaulted to btrfs.
Fedora, installation, out-of-the-box uses btrfs

Fedora did well, and the difference between first place (Cachy) and Fedora would not be distinguishable by a Desktop user. User think-reaction-time wipes out the differences.

I wonder if, or my thinking is, that by setting up Fedora to be installed using ext4 format only, that Fedora might displace ubuntu for 2nd place.

The btrfs file system is about double the overhead of an ext4 file system, for the same nvme or ssd device. ]]> lsatenstein https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?336725-Oct-27-2026-Phoronix-benchmark-Fedora45-VS-ubuntu2610-VS-cachyos
