I would do further research, as this is based on my experience with VMs, but some ISOs refuse to boot when the VM is set to Secure Boot.

I wonder if that’s why you’re having trouble. I believe drive encryption and Secure Boot are separate protections (one being disk encryption and one being a way to assert system integrity). Trying to boot from a USB might be causing Secure Boot to freak out, since it’s not the system your BIOS expects.

My initial thought is that you should be able to use LUKS without Secure Boot, but please don’t take my word for it. Do further research. I am not an expert in this, just a passing enthusiast trying to help point you in a direction.

The reality is that, although there are quite a few standalone Wayland compositors, you don’t hear about most of them, because almost all of them suck in one way or another if you go beyond opening terminals.

Ah, classic Vaxry. I’m sure he would love it if his compositor was the only one.

I lost interest after that.

Alright. Well, gotta deal with the pain of having a criminal conman for a president on our individual ways, I suppose.

I’m not really interested in criticizing people, myself. You can do what you like and convince people to join you in whatever way you deem fit, but in my experience, they tend to shut down and stop listening (maybe it’s my delivery). I’d much rather show them there’s hope elsewhere, especially because right now, that’s what a lot of people want. Honey vs. vinegar, and all that.

I like your way of thinking. It’s similar to what I’ve been saying to people in the aftermath as well.

Build your community. When the shit has hit the fan in the past, it’s the communities that stand together who make it.
