Linux with ZFS on root, using ZFS native encryption (no need for luks), works really well on Gentoo. I'm impressed with OddLama's installer tui-based scripts, the time savings are significant.
one item of interest: only two partitions required (three if swap is created). ZFS handles all of the usual requirements except EFI, just the way it should be.
