Here's how you set up Artix and Arch Linux with an encrypted root/home drive. I cover not just encryption, but installation for legacy BIOS and UEFI machines, but also what differences you'll encounter on Artix's different init systems. I also talk about automatic logons and such. https://artixlinux.org/ https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Installation https://archlinux.org/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide Note that the only thing different between Arch and Artix are renamed commands (pacstrap vs. basestrap and genfstab vs. fstabgen and artix-chroot vs. arch-chroot). Artix can come with either runit, openrc, s6 or dinit as an init system and setup for all is the same except for the desired package is installed initially as is the command to enable the network interface. If you want to lazily copy, the programs I installed with basestrap were: base base-devel runit elogind-runit linux linux-firmware grub networkmanager networkmanager-runit cryptsetup lvm2 lvm2-runit neovim vim 00:00 Intro and Background 01:26 Download and Create and ISO 05:05 On the Artix and Arch Install Scripts in the Repositories 07:28 Reboot and Boot from the ISO 08:26 UEFI vs Legacy Boot 09:38 Formatting the Drive and Partitions 14:34 Making an Encrypted Partition (luksFormat) 17:37 Mount Partitions 18:24 Choosing Mirrors for Speed (Optional) 19:02 Install the Operating System and Programs 22:06 Chrooting into the New Operating System 23:03 Settings: Timezone, locale, LANG, hostname 26:13 Enable NetworkManager and internet/wifi 27:17 Passwords and users (optional autologin) 29:30 Preparing decryption on boot, mkinitcpio.conf 30:59 Grub configuration with UUIDs to decrypt 32:08 Generating an fstab file 32:28 Finishing up the GRUB configuration 36:32 Grub installation and grub-mkconfig 39:13 Finalizing 39:47 Checking our work 41:44 On graphical environments 42:30 LARBS 45:45 On xinit and starting desktop environments or window managers My website: https://lukesmith.xyz/ Classical books reprinted by me: https://lindypress.net/ Get all my videos off YouTube: https://videos.lukesmith.xyz/ or Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/invite/@Luke:7 Please donate: https://donate.lukesmith.xyz/ BTC: bc1qd20r7phdct3t0e0z6jqs55ulectg25pngt7hyl XMR: 89yML3AtqnTNdo3wNuoaW44D94Zx1kBZNSBc9SyNxGdaKEZwZNdVzvy9zpbzJMzysiWZEU3b5LwjQ3XwWuQsknCF8JK73yv OR affiliate links to things l use: https://www.vultr.com/?ref=8384069-6G Get a VPS and host a website or server for anything else. https://www.epik.com/?affid=we2ro7sa6 Get a cheap and reliable domain name with Epik.
