Description

Currently blocked by: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1163

Traditionally we've ignored encryption use cases because we are lazy and it was easy to save time by ignoring encryption altogether. In particular since it kinda worked thanks to Ubiquity if people were lucky.

With calamares we need to actually invest some time. Also KDE now pursues stronger privacy goals. Within the realm of privacy falls the need to protect ones' data from prying eyes as much as possible in the dystopian future we live in.

  • Test calamares LUKS support and make sure its up to the task
  • talk to upstream about why calamares needs a keyfile and ubiquity doesnt (and by extension why calamares needs to install an initramfs config to force it world-unreadable)
  • openqa test calamares LUKS
  • Test LUKS usb drive shebang in Plasma
  • openqa LUKS USB drive shebang if at all possible
