Never been interested.
Don't really need the subset of ZFS-like features for my OS disk, and don't care to learn them. And always used ZFS for my file server.

It’s a mainline kernel file system with snapshots and requires no fuckery to boot from. ZFS typically lags a little behind the newest kernel, and requires extra work to get booting out of the box.

Because it works. Snapshot is a killer feature for root.

I don't have a NAS
>>106763887
this, does zfs have anything like grub-btrfs to boot into a snapshot?

Why can't fedora do snapshots but decide to move to this fragile FS?

You can set up snapper, btrfs-assistant and grub-btrfs in fedora right now and it will work

Yeah but it should just be preconfigured like on OpenSUSE or CachyOS.
