Root encryption on the M1 Mac running Asahi Fedora Remix is done for a while now. I have set up LUKS while booting from another partition running Debian so GRUB2 doesn't get confused. This was easier then having making a bootable USB work, which I still couldn't do. All going well since, seems like it is a viable setup.

There is no encryption set on the root partition using the default Asahi linux install flow so will encrypt that btrfs partition after the fact. Will try without using a live USB, wish me luck. 🤞 #asahi #linux #aarch64 View quoted note →

Tails is not built for arm processors. It is not just the M1 chips, there is no version for eg. Pinebook neither. To run traditional amd64/x86 software get any cheap Thinkpad, they have great linux compatibility and work with Tails out of the box. If want to go deeper look into replacing BIOS/UEFI with Coreboot or Libreboot as well.

Great this straightens my head I will give it another go with one of those machines. I’m thinking of replacing the whole windows installation with Tails, so I don’t have to run it from a USB device. Am I doing this right?

I just want to run tails on a laptop. My MacBook doesn’t let me boot from usb. So I need to use some other machine. Then suddenly I thought why not create a dedicated tails-laptop. Just Tails, nothing else.

It's way better. You can create VMs with different permissions. You might create a Tor only Debian VM template. Install the apps you only need so there's no bloat. You can keep a version with persistent storage or not.
