Native (properly working) ZFS, I don't need any other reason :) It works on linux, but to be able too boot from it, still a huge hassle.

  I tried to intall Ubuntu into root ZFS and it wasn't much of a hassle, just simple howto, everything worked.

    I've been running root on ZFS (GELI- or LUKS-encrypted, no less) since FreeBSD 7 and Ubuntu 12, and to be frank the story on Linux just isn't that great. Documentation for root on ZFS only exists for Arch, Debian, Gentoo, and Ubuntu, with only Debian and Ubuntu having documentation for encrypted root ZFS pools. Last I checked, not a single Linux distribution's installer supported ZFS, so if you want root on ZFS, you must install Linux by hand. That's great if you have unlimited time, but it sucks for any kind of deployment at scale. Contrast with FreeBSD, with first-class support for installing root on ZFS since 10.0-RELEASE, four years ago.

    I’m going go out on a limb abd speculate there might be different hurdles for a single installation vs many installations.
