How to handle zfs boot environments on Debian?
I came across zectl (https://github.com/johnramsden/zectl/blob/master/README.md) but found the docs quite sparse.

Absolute beginner in Linux and truly enjoyed the journey of using Arch Linux
I've been trying to install it on ZFS root with systemd-boot but also have something like zectl for picking snapshots at boot time, so far no luck, seems hella complicated

ZFS 2.1.1 and grub-libzfs 2.06 (native encryption, root/boot as ZFS subvolume, special allocation class). Also few other questions (sorry for a loong post ;-)
You'll have to give up GRUB to use zectl . I believe it only works with systemd-boot. I don't know how well it supports multiple operating systems on the same pool. I don't know if your pool can be encrypted.

OpenZFS Debian root (/)
If you use a tool such as zectl for boot environments, then datasets that don't hold system data like rpool/ must be out of rpool/ROOT.

How do you use zectl, simply?
Anyone using this? https://github.com/johnramsden/zectl

Still confused as to how zfsbootmenu handles encrypted pools.
If that doesn't appeal to you, you might want to consider zectl or bieaz. I know zectl has an AUR package, at least.
