(Ehhh there's definitely Arch docs covering FDE + LVM, so I wouldn't say "way outside the scope of the docs") protip: Don't accidentally fuck-up your LUKS header. I did that somehow and, well, now I've effectively nuked that install. (And no I didn't backup the LUKS header, why would I think to do that? :p) But hey, backups and all that. anyone get this on their X1: [ 6432.538127] mce: CPU5: Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 187) seems to only appear in the beginning (after boot) then I read: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1073948/package-temperature-above-threshold-false-alarms and https://github.com/erpalma/throttled oh! and also my sound is always muted... worked fine in Windows... wondering if a driver is crashing or something... (the light over the F1 (mute) button is always on too) this is killer: https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux Yeah I don't worry about the core temp. Not sure abt sound. Blame lennart. heh i'll figure it out xmonad + Xfce4 is a nice combo Like, just the Xfce4 session in the background, for all the little things... i still use notion since like '2001 well it was ion originally.. up_the_irons: are you using linux 5.1? https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/brbvo7/psa_fstrim_discarding_too_many_or_wrong_blocks_on/ reddit: "PSA: fstrim discarding too many or wrong blocks on Linux 5.1, leading to data loss" by WeddingShower linux-lts is probably safer.. hmm all users having issues have had samsung ssd haha, i'm a windows user and had trouble w/a samsung ssd and its warranty replacements taking a shit slightly more confident w/the nvme disk, but the whole mess soured me on sammy ssds https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Systemd-1.2-Million systemd has 1.2 million lines of code... i look forward to the day systemd is no more i can't see that happening idk im pretty young, ill be happy with it being 50 years out if we somehow figure out how to build software that lasts decades of technical advancement i guess id accept that as an alternate conclusion systemd feels like a windows-style usability attempt instead of hack-it-yourself style, except admin still takes place in a unix shell instead of a graphical UI. like if they'd just build a comprehensive UI that covers all the aspects of configuring systemd and family I'd probably actually figure out how to use the damn thing. ok im done i actually think systemd has some nice bits to it i do find openbsd simpler though
