I tested this on Linux Mint (kernel 6.8) and Manjaro (kernel 6.12).
I put in a USB stick formated it with f2fs and copied or moved files (from ext4 or btrfs partition). Before the files had a date in the birth time field, after copying/moving not.
Formatting the stick with ext4 or btrfs preserves the (not so real) birth time.
Has this something to do with the long story of Posix/Unix/Linux and not giving importance to this data?
