>It's not unique at that though. FreeBSD has had this for a decade. And Ubuntu is adding it now as an installer option.

Right, but FreeBSD isn't Linux, if you want both ZFS and the Linux ecosystem, then I would argue NixOS is the best at that right now.

I tried Ubuntu and ZFS recently in a VM just to see how it worked. The installer handles a simple, standard ZFS config just fine. But if you want to do anything more complex, then you're doing manual configuration, at which point it's better to just use NixOS, where all the manual config is done in the main NixOS config file.
