Is it possible to install on ZFS?

Is there any way to install Spiral on ZFS?
I suppose I can install and load the ZFS modules in live mode then "format" the disk as a ZFS pool, but will Grub find it? Will it boot? Will full disk encryption work? Does anyone know?

It might be possible but definitely not easy to install vanilla Debian on a ZFS root:

It definitely wasn't possible at the time of the last development phase of SpiralLinux to do so with the Calamares installer.

Thank you for the link. It's an interesting read.
But I have collected more information and learned that ZFS is not suitable for desktops. I have scrapped the idea.
Sorry for any trouble I may have caused.

No trouble at all. I agree that ZFS isn't the best for the desktop, at least not with a normal GRUB bootloader, since it won't have bootable snapshots. I would recommend the Btrfs defaults that SpiralLinux provides.
