  • I activated it on my work laptop to benefit from a little more time to get bug reports upstream. OpenQA can’t catch everything. Even if I updated only once a month I’d still get up-to-date software at that time.

    Sure, openQA and snapper make catastrophic failure very unlikely. But it’s still a small hassle.

    But I can’t work anymore anyways so I might as well get all the good stuff as quickly as possible. Just gotta find the energy to switch the repos. By that time Plasma 6.2 has probably hit Slowroll. Let’s see.


















  • That is absolutely not a slow laptop. If it takes a long time to boot there must be something wrong. I have a similar system that takes about ten seconds to boot.

    Anyways, like others said, LVM with LUKS is the simplest. It uses your hardware to quickly decrypt the drive on boot. While it is running access to your data is protected by your login manager or lock screen.
