It is not. There is a link in it, which you should follow and read the page behind it.

zfs with Artix works fine.

You will find the zfs packages in the https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories#Universe
Some advice:
- test it on a spare pc or in a vm first
- never update kernel and zfs packages at the same time; reboot in between.

Just curios
Is ZFS any better than BTRFS?
I have BTRFS on the sysetem partition but avoided it on data partition as it it caused Baloo to return multiple enties and an ever growing index... because of snapshots.

Is ZFS the same?

I've been using btrfs for years now and it has never failed me. I think it's mature enough to use it on your daily driver.

@limotux As for baloo, have you tried excluding folders on your system so that btrfs snapshots would be ignored?

Thank you very much.
I'll look at the link and see how to do it.
