The Fedora project team has announced the availability of Fedora 33 Beta. The new dev snapshot includes new features such as using Btrfs as the default filesystem and GNOME 3.38 as desktop of the issue Workstation.
“All desktop variants of Fedora 33 Beta – including Fedora Workstation, Fedora KDE and others – will use Btrfs as the default system files (filesystem).
This is a big change: we've been using ext filesystems since Fedora Core 1. Btrfs offers some really exciting features for users, such as transparent compression (transparent compression) and copy-on-write.
Fedora 33, will feature only in the basic ones functions of Btrfs, but we will create a default feature set to include more in future releases.”
More details can be found in the announcement of the new version.
