set to set the default behaviour and then you set it to true on
something that looked like a laptop and false otherwise. Or you cou
Yup, I'd agree with that too.
If the desktop guys want snapshotting to be as simple as possible, could ZFS be
configured so that this property is set on creation by default?
That means that it's something that just works for the average user, more
advanced users can create pools that don't auto

Yep, time-slider depends on auto-snapshot.

It's a service written by the desktop guys that adds
