run 'df -T'.  Fedora uses btrfs -- except for /boot, which is ext4. That 
was the default. Ubuntu uses ext4, but /boot/efi is vfat.  Raspberry Pi 
OS, also in the Debian family, uses ext4 but /boot/firmware is also vfat. 
I believe the vfat is a UEFI thing. The Fedora box does not have a UEFI 
bios.

There seems to be something with @.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/967172/grub2-does-not-detect-btrfs-
partition

The OpenSUSE I was installing for a dual boot was 13.2 from 2014. SUSE was 
one of the first distros to use btrfs. It was still a little experimental. 
Whatever the case it didn't work with btrfs at the time. 

The filesystem is another one of those things I don't care about as long 
as it works. I only get involved when it doesn't. My preference was 
ReiserFS but somehow it became unpopular when Reiser solved his nagging 
wife problem. I believe it was finally removed from the kernel in 6.13.
