Guide: Install Debian with Encrypted Root and Unencrypted Boot.
The reasons for wanting /boot to be unencrypted are varied. Maybe you want (much) faster boot time, or maybe you want to use a nice GRUB or Plymouth theme, or you use GRUB in a Multi-Boot scenario where you don't want/need to go through encryption first. Encrypting the /boot partition offers that extra .002% of security by protecting against Evil Maid attacks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_maid_attack), but comes with several tradeoffs which may not justify using it when it doesn't really apply to 99.998% of peoples' threat model. We can debate this here, but I feel like this has been pretty extensively covered online (e.g. https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1311) so feel free to do a search if you want to learn more. This guide is for people who are aware of the potential security risks, but for whom an Evil Maid attack is not something they need to worry about. Is this you? Cool! Read on...

Packagecloud customer success story: Nitrux
Nitrux provides an eponymous Linux desktop distribution based on Debian. It uses the Calamares installer and includes the NX Desktop built on the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment and MauiKit Applications.

I've decided I want to create my own distro, but I need a little help relating to the installer.
You can add your own scripts or programs to this environment to make the installation process easier. There are a few third party distro agnostic installers you could include as well such as calamares.

can I resell Raspberry Pi's with eOS on them?
But making an installer is hard to do from scratch. So you may want to modify an existing one, such as the one that elementaryOS uses, or the general-purpose calamares framework, in which case your installer is bound by the terms of their license to the extent you modified or are redistributing their code.

EndeavourOS is good if you are interested in Arch
They use the Calamares installer which is also used by a bunch of other distros. https://calamares.io/

New to Linux & trying to install Debian. Which of these should i choose?
Yes, it is the Calamares installer. It is more straightforward than the Debian Installer in terms of questions and won't get too much into technical details that may overwhelm a newcomer and/or a non-technical person. The Debian installer is a bit more overwhelming, with the benefit of being a lot more flexible than Calamares.

Weird hibernation issues on KDE
I decided to try KDE and reinstalled my system from scratch. I chose encrypted Btrfs volume with Swap to disk and hibernation. Hibernation didn't seem to work at first and I had errors during the boot saying something about 'openswap'. So I started googling and found this issue on github. I fixed 'keyfile_device_mount_options' in '/etc/openswap.conf' as someone suggested there and it seems to help. I don't have any errors on boot and hibernation KINDA works.

Custom Kernel Code Reviews? (Liquorix, Xanmod, Zen, etc. and supply chain attacks)
What do you mean fingers in the pie? And for liquorix the four people are only the ones involved in the packaging, you'll notice that they just include one huge monolithic patch here https://github.com/damentz/liquorix-package/tree/6.1/master/linux-liquorix/debian/patches/zen and to see what is inside that and whose fingers are in there you need to look into https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel and you have exactly the same situation as with xanmod with your 13k contributors.
- If your system is installed on dm-crypt and becomes unresponsive when writing/reading a lot of data (like installing Steam games) try disabling dm-crypt workqueues.

Lenovo IdeaPad - regression introduced in kernel 5.19.10 still exists despite fix being included in 6.1
It seems like the zen kernel "doesn't use" the same version as the upstream kernel (default). I think for now it is still on 6.0.12: https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel

The flashing screen bug seems to be fixed with the 5.19.13 kernel
Officially supported kernels Community support on forum and bug reporting is available for officially supported kernels. Stable — Vanilla Linux kernel and modules, with a few patches applied. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux Hardened — A security-focused Linux kernel applying a set of hardening patches to mitigate kernel and userspace exploits. It also enables more upstream kernel hardening features than linux. https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened || linux-hardened Longterm — Long-term support (LTS) Linux kernel and modules. https://www.kernel.org/ || linux-lts Zen Kernel — Result of a collaborative effort of kernel hackers to provide the best Linux kernel possible for everyday systems.

Is there any database for optimal game settings like the geforce experience?
@OP So yeah on Linux we don't have NVE which i'm kinda glad about for various reasons. But we have gamemode (sorry for the ArchWiki entry on it) and custom kernels like Zen. If you opt to install the Zen Kernel ALWAYS keep a regular Kernel as backup, just in case.
