    Only a little bit. Genuinely go grab a laptop and try to get everything up and running with Nvidia drivers, secure boot, full disk encryption, and tpm unlock (server application, no typing password allowed).

    It’s not particularly easy. (Except, somewhat ironically, with arch).

    My experience was following the fedora instructions immediately broke the boot, following the opensuse instructions worked up until I had an unexpected power loss and then it wouldn’t boot anymore (truly bizarre as the thing that lost power was the external zfs drives not the os drive). Only arch had a fully sane and functional set of instructions.

      I’ve done it with Suse more than once, but not with ZFS. Using ZFS with Linux still tends to be a crapshoot. I’ve given up on nvidia; if they want to be money grubbing assholes they can get other people money, but not mine.
