This covers obtaining the ISO, connecting to Wi-Fi, partitioning, formatting, mounting, installing, setting up encryption and installing GRUB, in one article. Also includes some tips, like quickly mounting from install medium. Maybe this helps someone.

With btrfs and zfs virtually being neck and neck in terms of capabilities, is there a reason or application where one should be chosen over the other?

Google ZFS licensing and you know why choose btrfs over zfs

Okay, so it came down to a licensing issue rather than one that is technical. I can definitely get behind that as somebody that will always value true open source, even when then the proprietary solution might be the better one in the short term. Something that is open source can only get better.
