      As someone mentioned it to me in these forums, there is also https://gentoox.cryptohash.nl/ - unfortunately this project seems to have slowed down a bit since there was no new release in 2022 yet.

      By the way, is the new ISO also somewhat optimized, e.g. using the x86-64-v3 feature level?

        Looks like it's just standard x86_64.

          Very nice to see ZFS make it into the ISO. Specifically had to use Ubuntu to install my ZFS-backed Gentoo installation a year or so back just for the ZFS live environment.
