so the latest pcr-oracle breaks the fde-tools. Looks like the maintainer has already updated the code and now it's in the factory. According to the wiki, it should be available for tw in a week?

Anyway, have to wait now.

installing opensuse. This is a quite different setup. LUKS with LVM, never used lvm before. I think there is some overlap between btrfs and lvm?

There is a licenesed windows installed by default. Definitely don't want to waste that.

And samsung pssd is sooooo fast. Clonezilla can run 19GB/minutes.

Oh lord, now I need to figure out which linux folder to backup. Apparently, unlike windows, you can't select everything.

Current list:
+ /home
+ /root
+ /etc
+ /usr/local
+ /opt
+ /var/container-data (the folder I prefer to save container configs, those mappings)

Or should I just take a snapshot of my Btrfs and upload it to the cloud?

That's the worst part. I like gnome over kde, but ahh, just give me back the good old icon tray.

AND GNOME DON'T HAVE TRAY ICONS.

No wonder Linux desktop can't beat Windows.

Today I was planning for my new Intel NUC. It comes with a 500G NVMe SSD (the bare bone version is out of stock) and 2x8GB RAM. So I'm planning on the disk layout.

The nuc13 can take one 2280 NVMe, one 2242 M.2 SATA SSD (NGFF), and one 2.5 inch SATA disk. Of course, I'm using openSUSE TW, so I got Btrfs out of the box. The question is what profile to use.

My first plan is to use 3 disks in raid 1. But then I found out the NGFF disk is really slow and hard to find quality ones. So I moved to 2, one NVMe and one SATA.

And then there is secure boot and LUKS things to handle. I want to use TPM to seal the LUKS key so I don't have to type password too many times. And if I'm going to add disk in the future, I should first let luks handle the disk, then add the mapped device to btrfs. Not mention the TPM issue. The TPM support is still under experimental stage, so every time there is a kernel update or bootloader update, the TPM can't unseal the key and I have to deal it manually.

Based on my current poort knowledge with those components, I think I'd just stick with the stock ssd, set up encryption and backup, then call it a day.

Despite I hate Windows, but this part Windows wins. Setup bitlocker is not that hard. And a system upgrade will not break it. And I need to see if I can get secure boot working on intel nuc with linux. If it's not working, then I have to type password anyway.

没想到还有黑胶!

Talking about battery...

I knew the battery was swollen again when I realised that the touchpad on my laptop wouldn't press down.

I like Razer's laptop. It's powerful, lightweight, and it looks cool. But the battery. Ahhh! Why?

Gonna order a new one and hopefully the old one don't burn down my house.
