My favorite filesystems:

1. Ext4
2. FAT (and its various upgrades)

There's no operating system that could not read them I'm aware of.

Within last 20 years I've never had a situation where I'm in trouble because my machine does not have "advanced filesystem" :-) And basing backup strategy to local snapshots, well good luck with that. I have NAS.

@jarkko I think AmigaOS can only read Ext2 with proper filesystem driver. It can access also FAT but not ExFAT.

@cos Great remark ;-) Not swearing this but I recall that ext2 driver could read ext4, it's just the journal part it cannot understand.

@jarkko Everyone seems to use Btrfs for snapshots (which I have as a fallback given I use Arch lol) so I’ve gone for that and it’s been solid for me. Whatever works :P
