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.

The problem with ZFS is that it breaks if you change versions.
I prefer ext4 on HDD and f2fs on flash devices.
exFAT is best for removable drives.
For interoperability, yes. But with flash devices I mean ssd and nvme.
If you are using the drive between Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android, exFAT is going to be the supreme choice. It is what I use for flash sticks and external HDDs.
