I used to use NixOS, and I do have some of the best ZFS support out of the box I've seen on Linux. I'm not sure if the approach of using zfs boot environments would play well with NixOS considering how they manage the configuratio

In 20.04 they will have ZFS on root with BEs as an install option, looking forward to seeing the first major Linux distro making it available as a default.

I used to dislike Java, then recently I discovered java streams, and some of the nice features with newer versions like more immutable types. After that I found Java a whole lot more enjoyable to use.
