Debian / Devuan installation is very quick and straight-forward, and the
package "vrms" (inspired by rms) allows one to check if one has non-free
packages. You can set up the full disk encryption off the bat there.
(I like Devuan for it's non-systemd options: that way you can strip the
system down to only the tasks you want it to do and no others, perhaps a
strict libre version could be made some day (systemd is the reason I
don't use trisquel, though I like the community etc; I don't wish to use
brand-new bug-filled system software that's 10 years till maturity etc,
and does things I don't want it to do))
RMS should perhaps do some installs himself to get the hang of how it
works these days; and be in control. It's very straight forward on BIOS
systems: burn ISO, pop in DVD, and go.
On UEiF (or whatever it's called) systems first you have to use windows
to allow "legacy boot", if you don't then you never can (can't do it
from the bios); to get to that option you have to change windows S to
windows-normal, which involves registering with microsoft (right now you
can use a throw away email). (They can remove these options in the
future and lock you in).
Also all Intel processors contain spyware in the form of a mutilated
Minix-running "baseband" type processor which can exfiltrate the entire
contents of your ram at any time (and thus your crypto key). You cannot
ever turn it off. (But you know this). This is to keep the men of the
nation in constant fear and in check: you see some men are not marrying
anymore and aren't held in checkmate by their local queen thusly...
I have heard that AMD systems have something similar, but not much info
exists on that. ARM also is infected by a similar thing.
Some think the law that states non-military electronic communication
devices must accept interference has been interpreted to force these
manufactures to develop and install this.
Most Proud Americans absolutely support these spy systems to catch,
jail, and torture-in-prison male paedophiles who like girls. They feel
it should be extensively used, and salivate at the idea of being the
"Bubba". When not doing such they program military systems to slaughter
muslims for similar crimes, if not manning said systems themselves.
Americans love their Trusted Management Engine. It manages the males and
keeps the Queens on top: as their species demands.

Sometimes it takes me 20 trys to get my LUKS password right; laptop
keyboard doesn't always register the SHIFTs.
I just realized my password is too short, few numbers, words. And I
got worried.
RMS: you should try it. Massive typing every time you want to start
your
lappy.
Then it says GNO 20 times, until you finally get it right.
It requires replacement of his system, I am not sure if he has right
assistants to help him on that.
Encryption is done normally before installing... you see? It is not
easy to go back and reinstall everything.
LUKS is easy to set up for Full Disk Encryption.
I don't know about that, maybe in some distributions. But terms are
confusing, one has to know it all.
I know it is not easy to RMS to do that. He needs somebody in
knowledge. He does not install his operating systems, somebody does it
for him.
I would also like it that way, but I don't have anybody to assist me.
