User is anon and password is voidlinux. The root user is root and has the same password. This document implies you're using the root user, so no sudo is used until the main user is created and used.

These are working notes on the installation of Arch Linux. I've just completed this install on a notebook (Lenovo P50)

the increasing complexity of EFI and the way Windows/MS manhandles the EFI partition during upgrades, I really would
recommend steering clear of dual boot. Just my two cents here.

2. We're encrypting with LUKS. I've used so-called "self encrypting drives" as well (and linux has multiple ways of dealing
