Full-Disk Encryption on Deck?
What's the full disk encryption UX line in terms of unlocking on boot, with the steam deck?
Would a USB keyboard basically be a prerequisite / will I regret enabling that? 😅
Thanks in advance!

Ah, also this.
During the installation when you are selecting the disks you can enable full disk encryption.
I think that the command for making it that you don't have to type the LUKS password on every boot is
ujust setup-luks-tpm-unlock
Once you have set it up you probably won't need a keyboard anymore. Not 100% sure as I don't usually do disk encryption on gaming devicesThat is something related to secure boot I think right? Not encryption?
I am using Bazzite on the deck as a general computer a lot more than I expected so was thinking about FDE. It's an awesome machine!
LUKS is disk encryption, doesn't have anything with secure boot. You can use the TMP module to decrypt the disk without you having to type the password with every boot.
Yeah if you using Bazzite for much more than gaming then, FDE, does make sense
But as Kyle mentioned, if you want FDE you reinstall typically and then you can use the ujust command if you don't want to type the LUKS password all the time
