Lol in Albuquerque this isn’t a problem because plates are optional 😂

😅 naa for me encryption a bigger risk than theft

That said, you should be able to decrypt your disks with the right key even on a live boot. Even if the secrets are in the tpm you should be able to use whatever your normal system uses to decrypt the disks.

If you don’t enter a password to boot, the keys are available. If you do, the password can decrypt the keys afaik.

Again, I don’t do this but that’s what I’ve picked up here and there so take it with a grain of salt I may be wrong.

Live boot, plug in a display?

Maybe I’m missing something here, but won’t booting from live media run a normal environment?

If you don’t have a live boot option you can also pull the disk and fix it on another machine, or put a different boot disk in the system entirely.

You can probably also disable hardware virtualization extensions in the bios to break the VM so it doesn’t steal the graphics card.

Lol on nixos I’ve broken my gui twice so far. Keeping old configurations is nice but I learned the hard way that I should have been keeping copies of my configuration.nix

I haven’t tried any ostree based distros yet.

In the Linux world we have this great training routine called broken updates that forces users to regularly rediscover the magic of text mode. If you’re lucky enough to run a specialized graphics card you get to experience this almost every update.

We have a similar program for training users how to cope without WiFi.
