The FreeBSD installer provides out of the box options to put the root filesystem on an encrypted ZFS partition. The last I looked into doing root-on-encrypted-ZFS on Linux it was a lot more involved.
Ubuntu 22.04 at least, supports root-on-encrypted-ZFS right from the installer and it worked just fine for me.
I guess my point was the Oracle could still show up and take the ball away -- Linux and FreeBSD are using the same ZFS code base now.
The CDDL license guarantees they can’t. (And it’s probably the only reason they hadn’t.)
