ZFS is not installed by default with most Linux distributions due to its license. It’s something you install after the os. Btrfs should work, but I see some discussion online of 128 or 256MB minimum volume size.
Funny. I just gave away my desktop with that same chipset & CPU. It was a really good hardware generation.
No plans for a replacement in the near future.
