I'm almost certain that I'll want a dual-boot system on the new workstation: Fedora + one other t.b.d. Linux distribution. In that situation, does it matter which file system I'll use? Also, am I correct in assuming that file system choice do not affect the choice of hardware?
It doesn't matter as any distro should support all the common filesystems. It also doesn't affect the hardware choice.
Am I the only one sensing a business inconsistency in what Fedora and Redhat are doing? Since Fedora is the upstream for RHEL, and RHEL forks off Fedora, I would think that they would have the same default file system unless Red Hat wants to switch to btrfs as a default within the next couple of versions. I do know that btrfs is only Fedora's default; they do support other choices. (On my current workstation, I'm using ext4.)
There's no lockin for the filesystem. Even Fedora server uses a different default than Fedora workstation. But either way, you can select whichever filesystem you want at installation. But I must say that I am loving the subvolume options of btrfs for multiple reasons.
Fedora may be the "upstream" of RHEL, but again there's no requirement that they follow Fedora's configuration. There are many changes made on the road from Fedora to RHEL.
