Btrfs may have compression on by default so take it with a grain of salt

Doesn't Bcachefs, a well?

Neither do according to their respective docs.

Personally though I would've preferred an updated* test with more realistic hardware and zstd compression enabled cause this tested configuration is pretty rare in the real world.

* Their last btrfs compression benchmark was on Linux 4.11 in 2017 it seems, on a 120 GB Sata SSD.

A speed comparison between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcachefs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS on Linux. These are all file systems, like windows ntfs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS or the apple journalling file system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System.

While usually unimportant for most use-cases, and with each offering differing features and capabilities, in data-heavy systems speed can be an important factor in determining whether to use one file system over another.

It's also 'my car can beat your car in a drag race' for geeks, because again it usually doesn't matter and features are far more important than speed for the typical user.

This is a Linux community and most of these terms are common to even people new to Linux. I guess your joke isn’t really that funny. I hope you enjoy learning some new technology today!

It was all terms that hardly had vowels.

This Linux community needs to chill out a bit 😊
