Modern Ubuntu has both BtrFS and ZFS install options in the GUI installation tool.

  Are they going to add zfs to the TUI installer for Ubuntu Server? I've tried several times over the last year, and I have yet to find a good method for getting Ubuntu Server running on zfs root.

    It isn’t in 22.04, so for servers we probably see it not before 24.04. Only way is the official guide from openzfs: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Ubuntu/Ubuntu%2020.04%20Root%20on%20ZFS.html https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Ubu... One can also try convert a desktop installation into a server installation (not sure if it’s possible)

      Step 1 ("Prepare the Install Environment") starts by assuming you have a Live CD, which implies the desktop distro. I've been to that guide several times while searching fruitlessly for a method to install Ubuntu server onto a zfs root. I think you would basically have to spin your own ISO at this point.
