    Doable, but I mean common installers (like Debian and the like) offer encryption with lvm by default. Any other setup would require manual method which is highly annoying (I tired Debian install making my own partitions, because I wanted to encrypt boot. It was a royal mess to do, so I gave up and went with default lvm with open boot, since I just didn't have time for it).
    Sure. I only wanted to point out that lvm isn't strictly necessary (at least in theory). I used to care about partitioning before SSDs, but now it just makes sense to have one large partition or maybe two, when using crypto.

      Funny thing is, Samsung SSDs support Opal, so you should probably just be using that instead - fi only it had better support in distros.

        5.1 in general has been terrible for me. So buggy. The Radeon stuff is all kinds of messed up (corruption and hard system freezes). My laptop can no longer be suspended because if I do, it resets and corrupts the firmware. Going back to 5.0 fixes everything. I don't think 5.1 was really ready for release.
        been having screen lockup problems too with 5.1 though i can still ssh into it.
        have a vega 64.

          No issues with 5.1.5 though. Vega 56.

            I don't really trust the integrated encryption, there seem to be quite a few attack vectors there.

              LVM is bloat, and only makes sense in server setups.
              How do you RAID on desktop then?

                LVM has nothing to do with RAID. You'll probably want btrfs, zfs, or mdraid instead. mdraid != dm.

                  These articles have made me glad I'm a ZoL & BTRFS user (with an eye on bcachefs). I just prefer my tools to be more integrated and ZFS is the best in that regard; with BTRFS and bcachefs showing promise. At the end of the day I trust ZFS more than BTRFS and I trust either of those over volume layer + encryption layer + file system layer in whatever order a setup might require.

                  I've had all my Steam games and multimedia on a ZFS drive for three years now. Started as .6.x and is now .8.0 and I haven't had a single problem sticking with their point releases and rc's. Outside of the lackluster bootloader support that plagues all advanced setups from LVM2 to BTRFS to ZFS, it's a great file system and it has always kept my data safe through power outages, crashes, etc.

                    Many distros 'offer' LVM to users during install by default. Have to go 'manual' to avoid it.

                      a very big that.
