Probably easier to try Fedora/KDE first. If that doesn't work out, then <br>
OpenSUSE/KDE.<br>

OpenSUSE has a package that is not in the default repos, but the OpenZFS project endorses the package, and people on the internet report using it without issue. Fedora has a package that the OpenZFS project says "should not be used under any circumstance". Note that ZFS is for my server machine, not my laptop, and I won't use a rolling release distro on my server for stability/reliability reasons. I could use Mint or OpenSUSE Leap.<br>

By default, now, Fedora-36 makes a btrfs partition, subvolume "root" and <br>
"home", and mounts those as / and /home. So, you can do snapshot <br>
manually, if Fedora doesn't do it for you.<br>
