If this is the criteria for Production Users, then NeptuneOS can also be added. This distribution was an early adopter who defaulted to btrfs since sometime around 2014, using linux-3.13.11. By the way, would you please document that the Debian kernel team backports fixes release-critical (eg: data loss) patches to their stable kernel, provides a recent mainline kernel via stable-backports (or $codename-backports), and finally also provides recent btrfs-progs via that same stable-backports source? (I've been responsible for btrfs-progs backports since 2016) It might also be worth noting that the Debian installer doesn't yet support installation to subvolumes, the Ubuntu installer doesn't support configuration of subvolumes, and I think neither does Calamares installer (@ and @home are hard-coded like in Ubuntu IIRC). Also--to my alarm--the upstream Calamares installer defaults to compress=lzo, with no way for the user to opt-out. IMHO this should be documented for the benefit of conservative users who wish to avoid the once-a-year newly-found compression bug. Regards, Nicholas
