    I was interested in technology and programming and my mom recommended me to check out a raspberry pi. Her friend’s son has one. So my first comouter was a raspberry pi with RaspbianOS when I got my first PC it seemd normal to install something that I was using for the last year and its free. So I installed Pop!_Os, a year later Fedora and a half year later Arch. I’ve been using Arch for more than 2 years now.

    I’m using Arch because you start with nothing and you can make any system you want. I have disk encryption, btrfs as a filesystem, secure boot with my own custom keys, I’m running self-build kernel, I’m using apparmor and I can use any program from AUR, etc. Thats my personality. Things that you can’t see but are important to me.

    On other distros some of these things would be very hard to do. Especially without Arch Wiki.

    That was really hard to do. I created a note for myself and I will also publish it on my website. You can also decrypt the sd using fido2 hardware key (I have a nitrokey). If you don’t need that just skip steps that are for fido2.

    The note:

    Download the image.

    Format SD card to new DOS table:

    • Boot: 512M 0c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
    • Root: 83 Linux

    As root:

    xz -d 2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img.xz
losetup -fP 2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img
dd if=/dev/loop0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=1M
cryptsetup luksFormat --type=luks2 --cipher=xchacha20,aes-adiantum-plain64 /dev/mmcblk0p2
systemd-cryptenroll --fido2-device=auto /dev/mmcblk0p2
cryptsetup open /dev/mmcblk0p2 root
dd if=/dev/loop0p2 of=/dev/mapper/root bs=1M
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/root
resize2fs -f /dev/mapper/root
mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/boot/firmware
arch-chroot /mnt

    In chroot:

    apt update && apt full-upgrade -y && apt autoremove -y && apt install cryptsetup-initramfs fido2-tools jq debhelper git vim -y
git clone https://github.com/bertogg/fido2luks && cd fido2luks
fakeroot debian/rules binary && sudo apt install ../fido2luks*.deb
cd .. && rm -rf fido2luks*

    Edit /etc/crypttab:

    root            /dev/mmcblk0p2          none            luks,keyscript=/lib/fido2luks/keyscript.sh

    Edit /etc/fstab:

    /dev/mmcblk0p1    /boot/firmware  vfat    defaults          0       2
/dev/mapper/root  /               ext4    defaults,noatime  0       1

    Change root to /dev/mapper/root and add cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblk0p2:root to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt.

    PATH="$PATH:/sbin"
update-initramfs -u

    Exit chroot and finish!

    umount -R /mnt
