From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The lack of adoption is more about nervousness around who created it more than anything. It's incredibly stable and very well tested.

It's a shame because openzfs is really truely fantastic, so hoping this new thing keeps that momentum but for a wider audience.

But sad to see people like yourself suggest myths around zfs that don't have any basis, probably one of the other reasons it's less used, people think there must be some reason and things get made up along the way
