It will likely be based on desktop Xubuntu. I’m about to update my main rig to 22.04, with a new install. I wonder if anyone yet installed Ubuntu 22.04 (or any of its flavours) with root on ZFS? Are you happy with it? Do you use it in “production”? Hey all, I didn’t find a recent thread on this topic.

OPENZFS 2.0 DEBIAN INSTALL
I’d like to see more configuration options like mirror or RAIDZ with multiple disks during install and maybe some GUI tool, but other than that there is no alternative other than doing it manually, which is quite a bit of work. Ubuntu 22.04 is really ZFS for the people. Really nice for people like me, being clumsy and doing stupid things at times. I also edited my grub so I can boot into snapshots. Ubuntu conservative release schedule, especially on an LTS, pretty much guarantees ZFS to work. And I’ve never seen mismatch of kernel versions and ZFS versions that fuck up the system even with 20.04. If you want ZFS-on-Root, Ubuntu Installer is the easiest way to get it on Linux. And version is 2.0, so a rather recent release by Ubuntu standards. Once it boots and runs, it’s just ZFS and works with all features. But I can confirm that zpool add and zpool attach work in my 2x NVMe configuration for the rpool. mirroring the bpool (boot pool) as I only use striped vdevs and bpool just sits on one disk. I guess you can add a second drive for redundancy after install?
