From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For sure. I would say if you run a distro like Arch, using it without cow filesystem and snapshots is not a good idea... You can even integrate snapshots with pacman and bootloader.
I've been running nixos for so long, that I don't really need snapshots. You can always boot to the previous state if needed.
If you write software and run tests against a database, I'd avoid having the docker volumes on btrfs pool. The performance is not great.
