Edit: I'm going with LUKS + BTRFS. Thanks for the responses!

Which file system should I use for an encrypted root partition on Linux for a single disk (no RAID)?

I typically use LUKS + ext4.

I've also used encrypted BTRFS and ZFS but never worked with them to any extent beyond getting them setup. I see distros such as Fedora are now defaulting to using BTRFS.

I'm seeking some advice: Should I stick with ext4? Or use BTRFS? Or ZFS?

@dwarmstrong Do you plan to use any btrfs features? Like snapshots?

@nik Maybe... I'm meaning to install a rolling release distro (Chimera Linux) and having the ability to snapshot/rollback could be a good thing.

@dwarmstrong In that case, I'd use btrfs, and if you want it robust and rolling, use openSUSE Tumbleweed.
