ZFSBootMenu provides boot environments for Linux. The now defunct Project Trident, formerly PC-BSD and then TrueOS, had a gui installer that sets you up with
- ZFS on root install of essentially void Linux
- rEFInd with a kernel sufficient just to boot into
- ZFSBootMenu which lets you boot into a prior boot environment
- ZFS native encryption of /home per user directory set up to unlock when you log in via PAM and zfscrypt
- An update script that automatically creates a boot environment prior to updating
- A mediocre choice of display manager and their own customer desktop environment that was neither in my opinion terrible nor interesting. Trivially replaceable with a different DE and lightdm.
Trident is alas gone but all the pieces remain and work fine.
