Thats not the fault of the filesystem, but that of a bad choice in a
pretty-but-near-useless installer. Thankfully, F38 is supposed to fix
the installer.
To me, as a person who has never used btrfs or lvm, so I know nothing,
from what I have read they seem pretty much the same to me. If a person
wanted compression, there is always squashfs. I have always been
interested in looking into btrfs, but, I have been waiting for opinions.
