The latest Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) operating system is the first Ubuntu Linux release to ship with support for ZFS as the root filesystem, also called ZFS on Root.

While implemented as an experimental feature in Ubuntu’s Ubiquity graphical installer, the new ZFS on Root feature allows users to install the Ubuntu 19.10 operating system with a ZFS formatted root file system and corresponding partitioning layout.
