Tracking FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT / 11.1-STABLE / 11.1-RELEASE now by leveraging a ZFS snapshot for each, managed with beadm, with shared /home of course. Release is completely stock using official pkg. Stable and Current are compiled from source entirely.
@bard can I reply to myself? I lied, all the times I lit my /boot directory on fire, and the times I corrupted my uefi boot entries, those things, zfs/boot environments cannot fix those things. =D \ @bayprogrammer
@bayprogrammer Not counting when I was a noob on Ubuntu and deleted my home folder and couldn't login with root either because they lock it down, I would say ZFS would have solved everything else bad I ever did to my operating system.
Just built world in <30 minutes and kernel in ~5 minutes on my old-ish laptop, I don't even have that new fancy ram or SSD so I'm quite happy about this.
Am I overly excited about learning to use ]ZFS snapshots and boot environments? Maybe I have just completely ruined my operating system beyond my own expertise in repair one too many times. @bayprogrammer
