I'm setting this one out due to

We are reintroducing support for ZFS guided installations, enhancing the flexibility and choices available for your storage management needs. This is a new implementation in the Subiquity-based installers, and is without encryption by default. The encrypted ZFS guided option will be developed in a future release.

And did I read correctly:

Known limitations:

Requires TPM 2.0.
Only a limited set of hardware is supported.
No external kernel-modules support. For example, no support of NVIDIA graphics cards.

I don't remember seeing that On Noble -release-notes.

One of the nice things about Ubuntu Discourse is that you get to see actions in progress.
Including the incomplete release notes as it gets pecked at by various engineers.

Wait a minute... That way those are worded...

#1) "subiquity". That would imply that they are adding a ZFS option to the Server Edition installer(?) Desktop has been flutter since Lunar.

#2) Requiring TPM 2.0 backed encryption was a disaster with the ubuntu-desktop-installer. I can't remember if that was Mantic or Noble. (Will have to check my notes.) It was so bad, with my bug reports that they pulled it.

#3) No external Modules??? How is that going to even work? I'm pushing ZFS, BUT... Doesn't saying no external modules conflict with their push for ZFS? (Devil's advocate).

#4) No NVidia... I will not comment on that, but that alone, is big.

Curious to see how this goes, and what it means.

Looks like they just did a

$sed 's/Noble/Oracular/' release-notes.txt

, but forgot the title.
I've messaged the author on Discourse about that last bit.

I too am very curious how all this shakes out.

Ran what was just a 143 or so package upgrade to oracular by editing the sources.list data . . . from "noble"?? to "oracular" . . . . On reboot all appears to be running fine on my '12 Mac pro with Nvidia 780?? card. I run "nouveau" rather than proprietary . . . .

So far so good.
