Hello, I plan to install Fedora Workstation 36 with a separate \home partition. I have a 120GB SSD, a 1TB HDD, and 8GB RAM, so I am thinking of doing the partitioning as follows:

SDD:
\efi (± 500MB)
\swap (± 4GB)
\ (the rest)

HDD:
\home (1TB)

I know how to do the procedure itself, but I am in doubt when it comes to selecting the format of the partition's filesystem. In Fedora installation, for \efi, I select "EFI System Partition"; for \swap, it's just "swap"; but for root and \home I don't know if I should select "ext4" or "btrfs".

I have read about both types, seeing the advantages and disadvantages of each, but I really wanted to choose based on whether any format would create a problem when running the distro. I know Fedora uses "btrfs" by default, but "ext4" should be more solid because it's older, and in several tutorials I found on the internet, they used "ext4", but I'm not sure because it's not the default option of the distro.

So I wonder if someone could help me to make this decision, since my main goal is functionality and stability on a daily basis.

Some information about my pc in case it helps:
SSD: 120GB
HDD: 1TB
RAM: 8GB
Processor: Intel i5-8300H 2.30 GHz
x64-based
UEFI

I apologize if I didn't make the question clear enough.
But I appreciate very much everyone's attention.

ext4.

You will find it much easier to locate help on the web for a start - this is a major advantage for a new user. Fedora has toyed with btrfs for years until committing to it recently. I have used it since it was in beta years ago, but rarely use it for the root filesystem.

I second what syg00 said.

In my estimation, the special features that btrfs offers are much more applicable in the enterprise than in home use. I normally use ext4 and it has served me well.

Just my opinion.

I've been using ext4 since it came out, been rock solid.

By the way, Linux/BSD use a forward slash, not a back slash, that's MS Windows/DOS, get out of the habit, as it can cause some problems with some software, etc.
