A fresh Linux distribution is ready!
OpenZFS isn't part of the core Linux kernel because it's usually added as an optional third-party component. This approach helps avoid locking everyone into a single vendor solution. Plus, you might find Btrfs offers better performance and flexibility for your needs.
Originally because of a potential license issue but that turned out to be a blessing because due to lots of work from the OpenZFS community they reformed the code base from being 4 separate trees into one (they had to take it out tree with FreeBSD and FreeBSD did a lot of lift to help it be cross platform). Now due to the multi-platform support nobody even wants to put it in the Linux kernel. (You got to think, we will never have the source or be able to merge into MacOS or Windows, so why merge it into anything else?) -- Sort of side tangent here but due to the fact it supports 5 different OS's one can use ZFS as a cross platform replacement for Fat32. Fun fact. It's also good for unreliable USB sticks. Btrfs had a great idea to use copy on write with btrees and ZFS would have used that if they knew it was possible, the algorithms did not exist at the time... however btrfs wrote too much code to quickly and they were too concerned with obtaining feature parity with ZFS before the design was fully completed. They are now trying to evolve they way to stability and so far no filesystem has ever done so in history. Alternatively ZFS was designed by Sun engineers with no evolving state and it was stable on release 17 years ago and shipped with Solaris 10 in a finished state. Ready for enterprise 17 years ago. The only changes they make on it now are performance and extending features to it not stability and certainly NOT on disk format changes like in btrfs in 2021. On disk changes show they had to change the design and that isn't good. Maybe they will get it right.. maybe not.. Until they do, my advice is to use ZFS, XFS or Ext4.. tho it's your computer, use what you like. There are also new designs coming out that may trump both.. filesystems are tricky and history is littered with lots of bad ones.. Microsoft has failed to replace the 30 year old NTFS 3 times now.
I've been managing btrfs for years in production. As long as you're not using RAID 5/6 and sticking to 0, 1, or 10, it's totally fine. Most people are just getting a bit more advanced with what RAID is meant to do.
These appear to be the names of the providers you'll begin with. Laserbeam Productions seems like a film company, while DiVOC is unclear.
