Reading the article I’m not sure why I should t use ZFS on a boot drive. The author does, and was able to set up a nice incremental (encrypted) backup solution that was able to get them back up and running relatively quickly.
Only thing I can think is the manual nature of it maybe? I don’t see how btrfs would be better here based on the article unless I missed something perhaps?
Arch Linux has a very strong reputation as the best Linux
I use arch btw (well, cachyos). I don’t really ever text anyone or even talk about it online though
Edit: CachyOS edition:
CachyOS Linux has been working with a variety and a lot more features to improve performance
