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

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
