After my blog post emphasizing the importance of taking control of your privacy, I’ve decided to make a few more posts going over detailed instructions on how to actually do so. Today we have a video that goes over the process of installing Arch Linux with full disk encryption.

This is my first go at publishing videos on my blog, so please provide some feedback in the comments of this article. I’d prefer to use my blog instead of YouTube for publishing technical videos, since it’s all open source, ad-free, and DRM-free. Let me know if you’d like to see more content like this on my blog and which topics you’d like covered - I intend to at least release another video going over this process for Ubuntu as well.

The video goes into detail on each of these steps, but here’s the high level overview of how to do this. Always check the latest version of the Install Guide and the dm-crypt page on the Arch Wiki for the latest procedure.
