"linux zfs" has never been "linux's own" - it's under OpenZFS umbrella and was ported from Solaris to start with. It's not even been in the Linux's main kernel tree once. Wonderful how perspectives may shift for some, depending on topic. In some other threads you rage like a nutcase against zfs, it's bad, it's NIH.
linux app compatibility - history goes in circles. There was time when Linux had very basic BSD binary compatibility (386BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSDi/386), not to mention SVr3/4, SCO Xenix V/386, Xenix 286 binary emulation (through iBCS2 and SVr4 APIs). Only hypocrite sneers over something "his camp" has done itself and much larger scale.
Linux drm - if it wasn't for AMD and Intel releasing Linux-specific code for you (MIT licensed, mind you, not GPL) - your GPU support would be much on par with BSD/Illumos. Linux has vendor-support advantage, it's for sure not kernel core devs service. Wanna see how far would linux devs get hacking and reverse engineering GPU's on their own then look at Nouveau - generally basic 2D and works better for older hardware.
linux wifi - W t Fuck are you even talking about?
