I installed Mint on my buddies computer yesterday and the install defaulted to ext4, and then had the audacity to have “Enable Backups” in the welcome dialog and only have RSYNC available.

It gave me the option to do my own partitions during setup but every time I clicked the link to do so the installer would hang. My buddy started getting nervous so I just left it on default. But I was very annoyed that I couldn’t easily just switch to BTRFS.

I was there last month looking for some safety shoes to replace my redwing boots as I’ve changed roles in my company and don’t need 8" boots anymore. They didn’t have any shoes in stock because they were partnering with New Balance for their fall lineup of safety shoes. I couldn’t wait, so I picked up an ultra light 6" boot that I’m pretty happy with. Still fucking expensive though.
