From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes, and it saved my ass a few times. Every computer I own now and in the future will have at least mirrored or raidz disks with zfs. On all desktops, laptops, servers and nas.
Even upgrading from spinning rust to ssd was easy replacing the disks one by one and resilvering.
The (k)ubuntu installation made it very easy to have an encrypted zfs rootfs but they may have removed it on newer installation iso's, I'm not sure..
The Kubuntu installer offers btrfs instead now (not sure about Ubuntu).
That's such a shame. ZFS has been rock solid for me for years while I hear lots of scary stories about btrfs.
