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.

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
$ pacstrap -K /mnt base linux-firmware linux amd-ucode patch dkms kmod 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
Inside installed Arch
Configure internet access
$ systemctl enable --now iwd systemd-networkd systemd-resolved systemd-timesyncd
$ iwctl device list # check if powered on
$ iwctl station wlan0 scan
$ iwctl station wlan0 get-networks
$ iwctl station wlan0 connect SSID
$ cat << EOF >> /etc/iwd/main.conf
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true
EOF
Configure systemd-resolved
$ ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
$ sed -i 's/#DNS=.*/DNS=100.64.0.1/' /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
$ sed -i 's/#FallbackDNS=.*/FallbackDNS=1.1.1.1/' /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
Configure reflector for mirror management of pacman
$ pacman -Sy reflector
$ nano /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf
$ systemctl enable --now reflector.timer
User management
$ useradd -m matt -G wheel
$ passwd matt
