The easiest way is using t Proxmox installer which has ZFS as a filesystem. Underneath it is a Debian 10 installation. Last time I tried you could not enable ZFS encryption. I don’t know what is the case with Openzfs 2.0

Do we have encryption,yet?

Proxmox uses their own kernels, so they build the zfs modules as well. They are bundled in the pve-kernel package.
Ubuntu 20.10 has an option in installer to use ZFS encryption for root partition.
Oh sweet, I don't think encryption was an option in 20.04. Is it still under an "experimental" option in the installer?
Yeah, still experimental but improved over 20.04. Added encryption and "autotrim=on" by default.

I think Canonical planing is to have ZFS as an experimental option only for Desktop version of Ubuntu until next LTS release.
