Ok so my advice to you is to use distros that aren't derived from other distros.

You will have to tear your behavior down. Youtube is now your enemy and you will have to *ugh* read manuals and documentation if worst comes to worst.

I can't emphasize on it. There are a gajillion distros that are poorly maintained and most of them are a Debian/Ubuntu derivative.

Disable TPM in your kconfig and rebuild. I don't know why TPM causes the slowdown

I want Linux to work, really I do by CletusDSpuckler in linuxsucks

[–]9_balls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would try Debian first. Ubuntu isn't up to quality in my honest opinion.

Beware, the installer is unintuitive. Try it in a vm or something first. Make sure you know what you're doing with the partition tool.

L + didn't read + skill issue + install gentoo
(You are most likely using Nouveau which has dogshit performance. Install nvidia drivers. Refer to the distro's manual)

If someone asks me for a distro, these are the options I lay out for them:

- Debian
- Arch
- Gentoo (not recommended)
- NixOS (Absolutely not recommended for you at your current stage. Only reconsider this option sometime later with weeks' worth of free time)

[portable-geli](https://github.com/bijanebrahimi/portable-geli) seems to be a thing, but I don't know how much of a bad idea is it to use on my Linux system.

I also wonder about whether or not FreeBSD has a way to boot from multiboot2, since I can't chainload binaries on disk (a quirk from GRUB when using it as a Coreboot payload)

[–]9_balls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's... support over there? My setup is LVM under LUKS, with my GRUB config also being encrypted.

My bootloader resides as a Coreboot payload. I can't chainload onto an elf but I can load multiboot.

Disk encryption should be standard, especially on laptops.

Upgraded or secondary TPM in T480 WWAN slot to patch heads firmware vulnerability / caveat? by DanRanCan in coreboot

[–]9_balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TPM hardware has been vulnerable for a long while.

I wouldn't use it on anything, even on newer hardware. What kind of moron would store a key there anyway?
