For installing Debian Sid with LUKS2 encrypted BTRFS filesystem with Systemd-boot and rEFInd bootloaders plus an option for dualboot to Windows

For directly installing Debian Sid not supported by the Debian installer, namely:

  • Single LUKS2 encrypted partition which contains the full installation
  • Single BTRFS filesystem (integrated home partition)
  • Encrypted swapfile in BTRFS subvolume (supports laptop suspend but not hibernate)
  • Uses systemd-boot bootloader (instead of Grub2, also optional rEFInd instructions)
  • Minimal Gnome install (plus instructions for any other DE you wish)
  • Proper user groups for common security tools like sudo-less Wireshark, etc...
  • Optional removal of crypto keys from RAM during laptop suspend
  • Optional configurations for laptops (including fingerprint readers)

Update your Huawei Matebook Pro X (and others) from the Linux shell with fwupd

Huawei Matebook BIOS update with Linux

Tested with Huawei Matebook X Pro (MACH-WX9) This is more or less a step by step tutorial, written 02/2021. Sadly at the moment Huawei does not ship a package in Linux Vendor Firmware Service.

WARNING

Please note that you can damage ("brick") your device if something goes wrong or is done incorrectly. This is for the advanced user! I can only say that I flashed the new firmware 0.1.33 to my MACH-WX9 successfully.
