Before asking, did you search first? Press :mag: at the upper right to search.

Yes, yes I did. Found this (2 link limit for new users, really?) , which seems to be for older version cause I see no RAID man :joy: :sob:

Iā€™ve beed studying this for the past 7 hours or so, I need someone knowledgeable to confirm that the final result that ChatGPT recommends is good.

I managed to get 0 errors,I just need confirmation from someone who knows what they are doing because I canā€™t find any normal guide/manual for the current version. Why is it so hard for the devs to spend few hours on it I donā€™t understand.

Swap is far too big: as long as you are running your programs in vms, dom0 swap will stay unused - vms have their own swap volumes.

Do you have a reason to create what I assume are separate luks containers for dom0 swap and dom0 root? IMO managing lvm over luks is easier than luks over lvm, consider creating one big luks container and putting whatever lvm structure you want inside.

Donā€™t dwell too much on this, with lvm you can restructure your storage later once you get the hang of it.

Storage is highly situational and a thing of preference, there is no ā€œcorrectā€ way. If you want a suggestion from the developers, there is automatic storage configuration.

Why are you linking to a RAID configuration guide? Do you want RAID?

thank you for the tips! swap isso big because I wanted hibernation, which I later learnt doesnā€™t work well, and I linked raid because idk why I was tired and it talked about custom setupā€¦

Thank you! I got recommended that on reddit, but I got stuck at # Step 3: Set up LUKS encryption with Argon2id and 10,000 iterations because I donā€™t know where to type that command after reboot :frowning:

Also, how different is it from version 4.3?

  1. You donā€™t need to reboot for that, @Sylice uses shell in the installer, rescue mode, or another live system.
  2. You donā€™t need to run any commands at all - just reading that guide to use it as an inspiration for your config might be useful, you can replicate all this in GUI (apart from the custom encryption, this is the point of the guide)
  3. If you want to do things in CLI, see step 0 of the guide

Looks identical (apart from details stated as custom in the guide), but I donā€™t remember the current defaults. You could load the installer, select a drive, get into custom partitioning (not blivet), and tell it to suggest automatic config to compare.
