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.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get a Pop!_OS 22.04 system with a luks-encrypted partition which contains a LVM with a 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. The recovery system of Pop!_OS is also installed to the disk and accessible via the systemd bootloader.

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

My strategy to backup Linux, macOS and Windows machines using a combination of Nextcloud, rsync, restic, BTRBK and Time Machine.

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

In this guide I will show how to install Fedora 35 with automatic system snapshots and backups using BTRBK which will regularly take (almost instant) btrfs snapshots of the system and send/receive these to a backup disk given a chosen retention policy.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get a Pop!_OS 21.10 system with a luks-encrypted partition which contains a LVM with a 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 BTRBK which will regularly take snapshots of the system and optionally on any apt operation. The recovery system of Pop!_OS is also installed to the disk and accessible via the systemd bootloader.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get a Pop!_OS 21.04 system with a luks-encrypted partition which contains a LVM with a 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 and timeshift-autosnap-apt which will regularly take snapshots of the system and particularly on any apt operation. The recovery system of Pop!_OS is also installed to the disk and accessible via the systemd bootloader.

In the following I will go through my post installation steps, i.e. which settings I choose and which apps and containers I install and use on my Raspberry Pi 4 (4 GB)
