  • That is an interesting use case. If I have interpreted your post correctly, you want to boot from a flash drive into a generic default OS or a persistent and encrypted / password protected OS. Doing that on one operating system is quite difficult as far as I know. However, you could dual boot two Fedora installs on one drive (I chose it because it’s what I use and I remember that you can set up encryption in the install. You could use whatever.). Basically, flash the installer to the drive you want to use, and to a second drive. Boot into the second drive and flash fedora onto the free space in the first drive, and enable encryption when prompted. The installer is a live boot (at least on the KDE spin) and will functions as the amnesic one. The other will be password protected and remember changes.

    this is a file permission issue, nothing to do with LUKS. The solution should be to access the files as root. You could use the command “Sudo chmod a+rwx /path/to/drive” to set completely accessible file permissions, which is not a best practice typically, but would be fine here since the drive’s encrypted.






  • Also there are various specific cryptos that are easier or harder to mine. I believe monero is quite easy and bitcoin is more difficult, for example. I swear I’m not a cryptobro, I’m just a computer nerd who has been asked to explain it so many times that I have an okay understanding. Plus I had a CS teacher who was super into crypto and did a few lectures on it. You are generally correct, though. Also apologies for incoherence. My brain is not braining so well today.
