elementary-os

In the following I will go through my post installation steps on elementary OS, i.e. which settings I choose and which apps I install and use.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation steps to get an elementary OS 6.1 Jólnir system with a luks-encrypted partition which contains a LVM logical volume for the root filesystem that is formatted with btrfs and contains a subvolume @ for / and a subvolume @home for /home. I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to setup an encrypted swap partition which works with hibernation. This layout enables one to use timeshift which will regularly take snapshots of the system and (optionally) on any apt operation.
