Assuming I know nothing about ZFS, would it be a bad idea to install CachyOS on ZFS? (piefed.world)

All of my important data is on btrfs drives. I intend to install my system on ZFS. Why, you may ask? Because I can. That's the fun of Linux after all. I intend to mount btrfs drives as well. I hear that ZFS can break fairly easily? Is this a bad idea?

Edit: I understand ZFS is out of tree but CachyOS maintains their own package and dkms so it shouldn't matter I would think?

I've used btrfs for years. I kind of wanted to try using something different. I also want to learn more about ZFS.

Haha, so it turns out I was uninformed. Btrfs has all of that, too. TIL! Might as well use ZFS for the OS drive then in order to learn its commands.

I'll be using it too. I'll let you know how it goes.
