Now that TrueOS is somewhat in the rear view mirror, perhaps iXsystems can release a Debian variant with ZFS boot & alternate boot environments. When starting to think about TrueNAS SCALE, I was worried that we would loose the ability to roll back an update by booting off a prior ZFS boot environment. SCALE decided to surprise me with ZFS booting, (on Linux!). Same as TrueNAS Core, (which has ZFS booting from FreeBSD).
Their are no Linux distros, (that I know of), that include installing to ZFS. I think the old Antergos did it, but it is a dead distro now. Gentoo comes close, but I never bother and always install to EXT3/4 first, then migrate after. (Gentoo is lots of manual steps anyway...)
So, who is in favor of iXsystems releasing a Linux distro with the ability to install on ZFS?
And has easy support for ZFS based alternate boot environments?
