User:AdaptL/Adam's EFI Install Guide

This page documents some weird features of gentoo that I take advantage of in my EFI setup. A lot of this is taken from Sasaki's Guide.

Windows dual booting
While Linux has become increasingly capable of running, open source alternatves. Some. and Honorlock (real-life consequences if you are detected using a VM). Other programs. It becomes occasionally necessary to boot into windows.
 * Install windows, update and restart everything
 * Then resize the with diskmgr to make room for the linux installation

Windows tends to mess with your bootloader, better to keep it on a separate disk with higher boot priority. Mention use of a USB or SD card write-protection switch.

Hybernation with encryption
I use, so that it's all in a single file (This means all the modules, firmware, initramfs is built-in). You don't need to do that, but I think it makes it easier to use secure boot.

Modules
depends on HW

Firmware
Wifi driver, GPU drivers. Kernel will scream at you in dmesg if you get the wrong file.

Hybernation shortcut
Sway, Gnome

Secure boot
Explain evil maid
