> ZFS is absolutely amazing, and FreeBSD supports it fully and without any of the "jank" you'd get running ZFS on Linux.

This is why I use FreeBSD as well for my home server, first class ZFS support out of the box. Void Linux musl on my desktop.

I had an old 2TB ZFS array that was part of a trunas setup kicking around for years. I needed to recover some files from it so I hooked all the disks to a motherboard and booted FreeBSD live. I didn't have to do anything, the array was already up and running when I logged in. ezpz.

ZFS is a first-class citizen on Void Linux, too. There's a lot of care and consideration put into the kernel packages to ensure compatibility with ZFS. ZFSBootMenu is 'native' to Void as well, and the features it provides are quite far ahead of what FreeBSD's bootloader has.

I prefer OS variety and have a mix of Plan 9, Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD running my personal stuff.
