Hi! Don’t know if this counts as noise, but I figured I’d make an introductory post.
I’m a 20-something embedded software engineer who likes to self-host. I use Linux for my laptop and NAS, with ZFS on both.
While I wasn’t involved in Reddit, I heard about this Discourse instance while lurking in the Late Night Linux Telegram group. I decided to join to show my support for the community as it tries to find its legs outside of Reddit.
I don’t know how active I’ll be on here, as life gets busy. But hello!

Welcome! Good to see you here. ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
Welcome! What flavor(s) of Linux do you run with ZFS?
Don’t forget FreeBSD folks. They get kinda cranky when you call their favorite OS a “Linux distro.” ![:upside_down_face: :upside_down_face:](https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/images/emoji/twitter/upside_down_face.png?v=12)

Oh for sure. I was just responding to Thanson’s mentioning that they use Linux on their laptop and NAS above ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
I’m running Arch, Ubuntu, and TrueNAS myself. BSD love too ![:heart: :heart:](https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/images/emoji/twitter/heart.png?v=12)

I run Arch Linux on my laptop, NAS, and Vultr VPS. The laptop and VPS are both ZFS-on-root, and I think the NAS uses an ext4 boot drive. I do the DKMS package and use the LTS kernel since it breaks less often (occasionally I’ve seen incompatibilities just due to how new of a kernel Arch ships).
At a past employer I deployed some Debian storage servers with ZFS storage and ext4 boot drives.
Of course, I use Sanoid/Syncoid on all of them (thanks @mercenary_sysadmin
)!
