If you let the product die with a not giving a fuck attitude, of course nobody is going to use it.

For example when was the last marketing campaign that you can remember for Solaris?

Besides, they've started killing Solaris since 2010: http://garrett.damore.org/2010/08/hand-may-be-forced.html

AFAIK DTrace and ZFS can't be used with Linux due to their license being incompatible with GPL.

ZoL[1] works fine here on production and LXC+Docker loves it.

ZFS can't be added to the kernel. You need to install the kernel module yourself.

Ubuntu packages it in the default distro, your base install can have ZFS as root with no configuration.

For Debian/Fedora I think you need "non-free" packages added.

for debian based: add non-free repo and apt install ...

while installing, there comes a prompt were you have literally no choice but to accept the incompatibility of the licenses (and move on :)
