edit 2: Found a video by "SpaceRex" on the differences between BTRFS and EXT4, super helpful! He explained it quite well...

edit: It seems that there isn't much difference between btrfs and ext4 aside from additional features of btrfs, which although I might not need right now, there doesn't seem to be any harm in using btrfs over ext4, so I will be using btrfs.

Which would be better? Fedora shipped with btrfs, does it have any additional features that are good (quick search shows compression, subvolumes, and snapshots as main selling points for btrfs, but are there any downsides?

I dual-boot with btrfs, Windows just needed a reminder that it's ok to use something other then NTFS.

    What does reminding Windows involve? I also dual boot btrfs, but Windows never sees my btrfs since it's on a LUKS encrypted partition, so I am not familiar with needing to do this

    I just followed the steps of this kind gentleman and it worked. After 1:40 he shows the steps you need to do on the windows side with winbtrfs.
