Trying Out Ubuntu 20.04 With ZFS + Zsys Automated APT Snapshots

Michael Larabel relates his experience in Ubuntu 20.04's Zsys initiative. He tells us how to activate the ZFS root file-system install option, where running APT will trigger Zsys to take a ZFS snapshot. Then that grub provides a history for booting an earlier snapshot. Michael concludes "So far it seems to be working out fine and a nice addition".
