2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    You're looking for Gentoo.

    Unless I'm missing something, Gentoo uses out of tree kernel modules. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ZFS#Installation

    Ubuntu actually bakes it into the kernel for you. I prefer having it in the kernel after having to deal with failed kernel upgrades several times in a row.

    Considering that installing ZFS is optional even in Ubuntu, that just cannot be true. Out of tree means that upstream kernel.org does not bundle ZFS.

    Btw, Ubuntu 21.10 corrupted ZFS partitions. Their QA is shit.

    Keep in mind, Ubuntu rolls it's own kernel based on kernel.org release.

    Pretty sure optional means optional to use as your FS but not optional on your kernel.

    Good to know! I'll double check my version, then again, I skipped the installer and did things the advanced mode for my install so I might get to skip that issue.

    Out of tree still means not part of kernel.org upstream. You're imagining a tighter ZFS integration than is actually there in Ubuntu simply because of misunderstanding used terminology.

    What are you trying to say? They all use ZFS on Linux (today named OpenZFS). Gentoo and Ubuntu aren't different in that regard. Ubuntu's QA verifiably sucks, though.
