ZFS on Linux will not goes away. It is just that Ubuntu dropping it from the installer. You can still install it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/ And you can install it on a lot of distro too: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/index.html https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/ind... My current favorite is to install kABI-tracking kmod on RHEL. (But their kABI-tracking is not a guarantee as they uses more.) In fact I move away from Ubuntu knowing that they knowingly ship a ZFS version with file corruption bug, which is introduced by their own patch of OpenZFS. So if OpenZFS is serving you well, don't worry about the Ubuntu situation because there's plenty better options.
