      Pigeonholed on Linux because of the incompatible license. It can’t be a part of the kernel. No technical reason it can’t, only legal reasons it can’t.

      I was referring to its lack of use as a root filesystem. It’s primarily used for large storage arrays both at home and in data centers.

        It’s not a great choice for everyday use, that’s why. It’s a fine solution for scaled storage that makes it more performant on large disk arrays though.

          Why though? I daily-drive it on multiple machines. The native encryption and ZFSBootMenu make it an awesome root fs. And incredibly easy to use with the way it handles mount points.
