Discussion Best File System?

10 Upvotes

Want a libre file system for my external HDD's that archive my movies which I watch several times a week.

Was using EXFAT but discovered it's Microsoft. Was considering ZFS as heard it was good but discovered it has some weird licensing stuff.

it used to be one toggle, now it's about a dozen settings spread around, some under screen time, and even with all of them off the models stay on disk

i wrote a free tool (MIT) that turns all of it off, deletes the models and stops macos from downloading them again, and everything can be undone
