The inaugural release of ubuntuBSD is now available, which the developers have codenamed "Escape From SystemD". [It] pairs the Ubuntu userspace with the FreeBSD kernel.
... This first ubuntuBSD beta release is based off Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf and the FreeBSD 10.1 kernel.
This Ubuntu+FreeBSD operating system ships with the Xfce desktop, is designed for both servers and desktops, and offers complete ZFS file-system support.

BSD releases have their own wierdnesses, zfs being just one of them. Cross-breeding this with Ubuntu raises a question: does the invasive "search" and ad-heavy app-"store" survive from standard Ubuntu? Those two "features" and the Unity desktop have ensured my avoiding Ubuntu since just after 8.04. Will anything change on Planet Canonical in especially the privacy areas before Yelping Yellowjacket or Zapped Zebra?
