quibble:SUSE Leap, Fedoran, and iirc Arch default to btrfs. I ran into 
problems with SUSE 13.2 that defaulted to btrfs. At least at that time 
grub didn't do btrfs. I reinstalled with ext4.  My preference had been 
ReiserFS but it was out of favor by then. I don't think strangling your 
wife should be considered in technical decisions.
