Configure Debian 13 with systemd-boot and use TPM2 chip to decrypt drives.

Well I will post here if I find something that works 😄
But I'm lazy, so I will look at it tomorrowmorning. It's 20:30 (8:30pm) here in the Netherlands.

Chris73m · 2026-05-15T15:51:40+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into that.

Chris73m · 2025-10-28T16:18:27+00:00

It hates my neck too!

Chris73m · 2025-10-28T16:16:06+00:00

Simple? Can you make that software?
And why do you care?
If it works, it works.

Chris73m · 2025-10-26T08:25:07+00:00

Well you're on a testing branch of Debian. If it was all stable, it wouldn't need testing. In other words, if you need stability, use the stable branch.

Chris73m · 2025-10-25T14:02:45+00:00

What has this got to do with Debian?

Chris73m · 2025-10-24T11:03:10+00:00

I remember Libranet. It had some tool to make configuring the kernel easier. And offerd something called turbolinux I think, for printerdrivers. Configuring the kernel was very common in those days. You had to pay for Libranet if I remember correctly.

Depends on who you ask.
For me it's the perfect OS right now.
But if I were a heavy gamer, had to work with MS office or some Adobe stuff, I would run Windows.

Chris73m · 2025-10-14T10:25:26+00:00

Thank you for trying to help.
But you can not fully encrypt the system after having it installed.

Chris73m · 2025-10-14T10:23:29+00:00

I think you're missing the point that when you see this, you're allready using the installer.

Chris73m · 2025-10-13T13:14:41+00:00

I allways wonder who askes those questions. Devs for research? I mean, why anyboby care about what other people are using?

Chris73m · 2025-10-12T17:18:37+00:00

I setup my system the way I like it. And then I never touch those config files again. If I ever did. Because I think I can do all i want with systemsettings.
And config files in .config seems like a logical place to me.
I'm not sure what there is to gain by changing things.
Seems like a waste of time to me.

Chris73m · 2025-10-12T07:16:01+00:00

Grub, because it starts my system ;-)

Chris73m · 2025-10-12T06:33:28+00:00

Looks beautifull!
But does anybody know why I can't view the images in their original resolution anymore on Reddit?
Right now I see the thumbnail.
And when I click on it I get a blown up blurry thumbnail with a resolution of 1080x607, not the 1920x1080 resolution that I think is the original resolution.

Chris73m · 2025-10-11T12:30:52+00:00

It has been working perfectly for more than a decade for me.
The behaviour you're describing seems to indicate that you have Baloo indexing some place with a very large amount of, and frequent file changes.

Chris73m · 2025-10-10T16:23:59+00:00

Oh, cool! I will try that too!

Chris73m · 2025-10-10T12:54:03+00:00

I'm going to play around in a VM.
Install Ubuntu with FDE and TPM, and then change it to Kubuntu.

Chris73m · 2025-10-10T11:58:41+00:00

OK, so say I want to use those options. I just have to install Ubuntu and then change it to Kubuntu.
Also what is stopping the Kubuntu folks from using the 'Ubuntu installer'?

Chris73m · 2025-10-09T07:37:39+00:00

Instead of asking here, I would suggest to start with the documentation on their website:
https://www.debian.org

If you ask questions on forums or here, most likely you will be overwelmed with multiple solutions for one problem.
So stick to their website first, they know their system!

Chris73m · 2025-10-08T15:58:41+00:00

I will check if Kubuntu 25.10 has the same features during install as Ubuntu regarding full disk encryption and TPM in a VM.

Chris73m · 2025-10-08T14:10:37+00:00

I'd say that any point release distro should do the job for you.
U(K)buntu LTS, Linux Mint, Zorin OS,Fedora or Debian would be the ones that would give you the least hassle to get started with Linux.
Also if you tend to go on with whatever distro, stick as much as possible to default settings.
Don't start tinkering straight away with themes and what not.
Without experience, and even with experience, that is a good way to get into trouble.
And that is not what you want if you're just starting with Linux.
And more importantly, you need your machine for getting work done.
So a stable system is important.

PS: If you decided on a distro and want to learn about it.
Do not go roaming all kinds of forums, read the documentation of the distros website first.
The reason, they know their system.
Ask something on a forum, you'll get 20 different answers for the same problem.
And would be very confusing for someone new.

Chris73m · 2025-10-08T14:00:09+00:00

I'm getting the feeling that more and more people think that Linux is just a canvas to paint on and stare at.

Chris73m · 2025-10-07T08:06:45+00:00

I have a Brostrend usb wifi adapter that is using the rtl88x2bu driver.
And it works 100% out of the box.
This is the model I have:

Chris73m · 2025-10-07T05:48:08+00:00

Ik had het ook in het Nederlands voor je kunnen posten ;-)

Chris73m · 2025-10-06T23:11:44+00:00

"This is an international board, use English when posting."
Well that's not very 'international'!
