@krevedkokun shared a cool thread about uki-bootloader implementation for guix, which brings alternative to grub and better encrypted root support. The solution has some drawbacks, but still very nice to see this work done!

My patch #65002 was merged, so that is no longer necessary.

of a botched upgrade

Seems somewhat important caveat.

Nevertheless, it looks like an interesting approach. Not sure I will be brave enough to switch (soon) though.

@graywolf @krevedkokun Haha, it's funny, a couple weeks ago we with @dgr were discussing 65002 patch series and planned to make a test qemu image to verify if it works.

Dominik created a repo for it: gitlab.com/slalomsk8er/rde-luk

@graywolf Thank you very much for working on this!
