Lin$uxers broke the battle-tested ZFS - on their pseudo-OS only. Real operating systems running ZFS face no such issue.
It was originally developed by Sun (specifically for Solaris I believe), so it (openZFS) quite understandably works best on Solaris (and it's descendants).
FreeBSD took years to develop their ZFS support to the level it's currently at. For Linux it has been more about licence incompatibility. It may seem rather pointless to some, but if individuals want to work on something, they're free to do so.
There is no ZFS support in OpenBSD either and won't ever be unless the licence (CDDL) changes...
FreeBSD and OpenBSD's support for NTFS and ext4 wasn't so great last time I checked...? But so long as they support the UFS/FFS variants, I couldn't really care less as I have no use for those FS (not ZFS, HAMMER nor HAMMER2 neither).
Not sure how that's bad news ? It's recognition of the fact that Linux cannot be ignored as a serious contender. Why would M$ bother with something if it was no good as you claim ?? So liking Linux means you're an "extremist" ? Well, maybe I should say the same about YOU, given you just love to have a go at Linux at every chance you get, hm?
I should also say that I've used Winblow$ since 3.0 to 7/8 (with the exception of ME and 2000 to a large extent) and I've learned a LOT more about computers in general - not just OS's using Linux. I doesn't matter to me weather you believe that or not, as I even have witnesses that can vouch for that.
I don't like the average corporation or the average "law" or even thought (killers or the intolerant for thoughts sake) we could live better without, that's revolution.
They say we learn from history‽
Only so many ways we do things: "right", "wrong", reality or *blindly or\and *blissfully ...mortally...everything revolves!
At work I use window$ because I have to(*), at home Linux$ because we can.
Distribution: Currently: OpenMandriva. Previously: openSUSE, PCLinuxOS, CentOS, among others over the years.

Really??? That's why M$'s Azure sphere OS is Linux based, and if you're going to carry on about the userland, it's still a Linux based system and NOT a Winblow$ based system. Suck on that, hehehe...
