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.

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 this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get a Pop!_OS 20.04 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. The system is set up in a RAID1 managed by the btrfs filesystem. I will show how to optimize the btrfs mount options and how to setup encrypted swap partitions which work 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 both disks and accessible via the systemd bootloaders. Due to the RAID1 managed by btrfs you get redundancy of your data.

In this guide I will walk you through the installation procedure to get a Pop!_OS 20.04 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 swapfile. 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.
