I'm using Endeavor OS. My computer lost power during system update. Now I can boot into it.

The BTRFS users are relying on backup systems, so make sure you have extensive backups as power failures can happen at any moment, etc. For me personally, a files system that so easily corrupts files, especially when power failures occur frequently, is not what I want. I will stick with ext4, a log file system, which is more stable.

BTRFS lets me backup my stuff more conveniently too, although it does start throwing a tantrum if you run out of space due to COW...
