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, 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 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
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
Installing packages on the device
mount usb key and edit pacman.conf
# pacstrap -K /mnt base linux-firmware linux amd-ucode patch dkms kmod rtw89-dkms-git btrfs-progs grub os-prober ntfs-3g efibootmgr efivar iwd nano sudo texinfo man-db man-pages
Preparing for chroot
# genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
# arch-chroot /mnt
Chroot in Installed Arch
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Montreal /etc/localtime
# hwclock --systohc
# echo matt-laptop > /etc/hostname
# passwd
Localization
Uncomment ca_FR.UTF-8 en_CA.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 fr_CA.UTF-8 and run
# locale-gen
# echo LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
# echo KEYMAP=ca > /etc/vconsole.conf
Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf for LUKS
BINARIES=(btrfs)
...
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block encrypt filesystems fsck)
then run mkinitpcio -P
Grub install
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch
Edit /etc/default/grub for LUKS
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
we can now reboot to the installed Arch
