A couple of comments about Ubuntu 20.04 (impressions after installation and upgrade attempt)

[Haug Bürger]

Hi Aleksey,

if you look at the source of the installer, there isn't much progress.
The major thing that changed is that they seem to force ZFS on you. I
couldn't find any discussion on how to improve the installer. That feeds
my impression that Ubuntu doesn't care to improve it. All I heard is
that everything is fine as it is.

If you are able to start a discussion, I'm happy to help.

Good luck
