Feature Request: F2FS as an option in the Zorin 18 installer

Please add F2FS as an option in the installer

F2FS is the better filesystem option by far for NAND media used in sata ssd and m.2 nvme drives as it's fast and prolongs the life of the drive compared to Ext4, ZFS and btrfs

It's also fairly robust and not a brand new experimental filesystem, android devices have been using it for years already

the necessary support framework is available in the repositories upstream for debian and ubuntu already

Sounds like a decent file system, as long as it supports all computers and SSD NVME drives. Usually SSD & NVME drives last 10 years if a top brand. What usually kills these types of drives is repetitive multiple writes.

Which is why I don't toast my drives by installing then removing games all the time when I run out of space. I buy new larger external NVME to increase my total storage.
