I really love the company and use Pop OS. The only thing I would really love for them to do is focus on ZFS out of box experience.
Having the default encryption go Native ZFS encryption would be really great.

... but I don’t think it should be the focus of a consumer focused distro since that’s quite an advanced functionality.
But ontop of ZFS distors can build great stuff. Ubuntu is moving in that directin as well, but I don't like some of their choices.
Still one of the reasons to use Ubuntu over PopOS is the ZFS support.
Its just that Solaris and FreeBSD systems were primary servers. If ZFS is the best file system, why not just use it?
I would really like to use native encrypted ZFS and then to encrypted backups with 'zfs send'. I would like good check sums, snapshots and all the features of ZFS.
Its simply overall the best system, I don't think there is really series competition. And the FS is one of the single most important parts of a OS. ZFS could be a major reason why people move to PopOS.
With ZFS Boot Environments you are bulletproof on upgrades and major changes.

It's a pretty shit file system for a single OS or a software development drive, unless you really need snapshots (you don't).
ZFS is made for big arrays of drives with lots of RAM. If that's not your use case, you're just wasting time and energy for the sake of it.
