I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it’s the package manager.

      I wouldn’t use ZFS. Too risky. If a new kernel comes along and ZFS fails to build or something, my system will be unbootable.

      Btrfs scratches my copy-on-write/checksum/integrated RAID itch well enough anyway.

        Nix and ubuntu have in kernel support. Void’s module build system also prevents this situation. I use nix and void, so have never faced this problem.

      I’ve been fuckin with btrfs so far haven’t tried zfs yet. Anything cool compared to btrfs?

        In contrast to btrfs it doesn’t break your data. Everyone learns the hard way not to use btrfs…

        I gave up on btrfs when Icouldn’t recover from a full disk situation (years ago, may be better nwo). But zfs tooling is so good, reliable and intuitive, I’d not want to switch anyway.
