alt Hacker NewsNo. As enshittification encroaches onto Linux the user base is moving the other way. To their benefit, I might add. With ZFS on root in FreeBSD it's a no-brainer.
Linux is feeling more and more like a bunch of random tools thrown together as opposed to a complete OS designed to work as a whole.

What enshittification?

Linux is a kernel. The user space stuff is a bunch of random software thrown together. That's what Linux distributions are.

This is a ridiculous stretch of the term

ZFS works fine on root on Linux. I use it on multiple machines.

This has quite literally always been the case and seems intentional. Linux is the kernel only, others supply the userland of their choice (aka a Linux distribution).
When has Linux ever been a "complete OS designed to work as a whole"? The Cathedral and the Bazaar was written 29 years ago.
