Potentialy dumb question here, is there any benefit to using btrfs on a non system disk? I’m fairly ignorant on file systems, asfaik btrfs largest benefit is snapshotting, not sure of anyothers.

I usually just stick to the standard file system to any OS.
So for Linux that would be ext4.
For external drives i use either FAT32 (the ol’ reliable) or exFAT (the fastest for dealing with large files when you set the max allocation unit size AKA 32MB).
It’s worth noting that the default file system varies by distro - there is no ‘Linux’ default. For example, RHEL et al use XFS as the default.
