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.

make menuconfig says:
And this for ext4:
But defaly indeed is ext4.
ext4 is literally just the latest version of the ext filesystem (AKA it has the most funcionality).
If you REALLY wanted MAX speed, you could make your system drive ext2, but you would lose some metadata, drive info & management tools.
It says it is "a" standard file system - not "the" standard. Very different things.
