I've been using KDE Neon on my secondary box for years now, and overall it's been great, except for two points which still means it's a no-go for my primary desktop. With gaming on Linux now being in a great position, it's one down two to go. First, and by far the most important, no RDP alternative with similar performance and functionality. Second, I'm really fond of the full-disk backup I have running. I has saved my ass several times, allowing me to be back in action in less than an hour with minimal data loss, by simply swapping out the disk and restore. I know there are some good backup options for user data, but I'd still need to reinstall all the data and re-tweak all the various configuration options etc which makes much more of a hassle to restore.

  I've been thinking about running ZFS on root. I've been running ZFS on my NAS for ages and been very happy, but I've also seen many posts on the mailing list about people suddenly being unable to boot with ZFS root systems after some update. As much as I love ZFS, it's a very complex beast, and that makes me a bit wary using it in that role. However in theory it would be great, I think. So I'm considering trying that on my secondary box soon.
