Can anyone remember when the times were not hard, and money not scarce?

I have seven computers I use (well, one of them I need to find a Linux distro that will work in it before it's used): The future Linux box, file system will depend on distro; one large laptop running FAT 32 (Windows 7), a small dual-boot laptop with kubuntu and Win 7, FAT 32; Two Android tablets and I have no idea what file systems they us; One Android phone; one Android TV that can read media files from a thumb drive, so I guess it's FAT 32, too, although I suppose it could be FAT 16 (not likely).
Linux on the desktop? Linux already won now that desktops are a minority of computers. These days, most computers (including phones and "smart" TVs) are running Android, meaning Linux has taken over the computing world.
What interests me is those of you who choose a file system rather than using whatever comes with an OS. What are your criteria for choosing your choice?
