Recently got a laptop from a friend after mine got smashed to smithereens. I was going to do a fresh install of my favourite binary distro, Void Linux on it but I recently found out they dropped Monero (and Crypto programs) for ideological reasons.

I guess its time to come home!

Booted Laptop/PC to the LiveUSB, time to do my gruelling ZFS installs :)

gruelling ZFS

ZFS is a dream!

It is, although my install is a bit funky. Efistub/zfsbootmenu wth native encryption - there's a few extra steps :-) luckily I have it all written down!

Any chance you’re willing to share those notes? I have the same setup (without encryption) but I didn’t write anything down!

I am more than happy to but I'm not sure if it's an older version of what I had written up, I'm actually reinstalling on another laptop to test/re-write it and I'd be more than happy to share if it works :P

Here you go!

For NVMEs: https://bpa.st/B4WQ

The paths are slightly different so I made two. Could probably merge it into one pretty easily but I can't be bothered messing around with variables :)
