  1. @Malix-off in the discord server :

    I have seen in
    https://vanillaos.org/blog/article/2024-07-22/interview-with-luca-di-maio-and-mirko-brombin-exploring-immutability-in-vanilla-os-2-orchid#how-does-the-atomicity-approach-in-vanilla-os-compare-to-other-operating-systems
    that it's fs independant, but are there some in which it works better (e.g. due to compression or thin-provisioning better interaction) ?

  2. Tau in the discord server :

    ABRoot is filesystem independant.
    Vanilla itself only supports the LVM btrfs structure that the installer formats.
    ABRoot does work better with Copy-on-Write Filesystems tho like btrfs.

    For the var partition it doesn't really matter. I would still recommend btrfs but you can use pretty much anything.
