The end goal is to have F2FS as a selectable file system when installing Ubuntu
with the standard desktop installer currently in development.

F2FS offers several compelling advantages over EXT4, particularly for use with
flash storage devices. By optimizing space management, handling large files more
efficiently, and offering improved error correction F2FS can provide a better user
experience in a wide range of scenarios.

The majority of desktops / laptops coming out today are largely shipping with SSDs,
so the inclusion of F2FS as an option makes sense here.
