Encrypted Void Linux setup w/o encrypted boot

This is a guide for installing Void Linux on an EFI system with non encrypted boot and encrypted root. The guide is based on practical paranoid article and official Void Linux article.

Before you start

I wrote this guide to help myself installing Void Linux w/o encrypted boot. I haven't checked it for grammar errors, so there might be some. I hope it will help you, and good luck. And I know that I use way to many pictures/terminal copy paste.

Trello CSS Guide

“I perfectly understand our CSS. I never have any issues with cascading rules. I never have to use !important or inline styles. Even though somebody else wrote this bit of CSS, I know exactly how it works and how to extend it. Fixes are easy! I have a hard time breaking our CSS. I know exactly where to put new CSS. We use all of our CSS and it’s pretty small overall. When I delete a template, I know the exact corresponding CSS file and I can delete it all at once. Nothing gets left behind.”

You often hear updog saying stuff like this. Who’s updog? Not much, who is up with you?
