# Lenovo Yoga 6 13ALC7
This repo is a documentation of how I installed Arch and got all the drivers for the Yoga 6, to make it work as if it was native.
Since I got the [touchpad issues](https://www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comments/yzs5fq/faulty_touchpad_tried_everything_to_fix_it_and_i/), I'll need this once I get it fixed.

# Local Pacman repo
The latest linux kernels do not have the laptop's Wifi card's drivers, therefore I'll need a [custom repository](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Installing_packages_from_a_CD/DVD_or_USB_stick) to complete the ach installation.

On a separate Arch installation with Wifi access, enter the following commands in a clean directory in a USB key :
```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtw89-dkms-git.git 
cd rtw89-dkms-git
makepkg
mv *.pkg.tar.zst ..
cd .. && sudo rm -r rtw89-dkms-git

## Partionning with [cryptsetup](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LUKS_on_a_partition)
### Encrypting root partition
```
# cryptsetup -y -v luksFormat --type luks1 /dev/nvme0n1p?
# cryptsetup open /dev/nvme0n1p? root
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/root
# mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt
```
### Mounting boot :
```
# mount --mkdir /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
```
### Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
```
BINARIES=(btrfs)

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block encrypt filesystems fsck)
```
then run ```mkinitpcio -P```

### Edit /etc/default/grub
```
cryptdevice=UUID=??????:root root=/dev/mapper/root
```
make sure the UUID is the actual partition inside the LUKS container and run ```grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg```
