Description Lua 2021-06-01 20:57:32 UTC

When encrypting the disk, GRUB:

- Decrypts the disk very, vert slowly;
- Doesn't show the blinking underscore indicating activity.

systemd-bootloader fix this issues.

- Doesn't show the blinking underscore indicating activity. Is not possible to notice if the decryption really started.*
- Enters into the rescue mode after only one wrong attempt of decrypting, which is very frustrating because the user needs to press Control Alt Del when that happens.

Whoops, systemd-boot doesn't support encryption: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/systemd-boot/

> systemd-boot loads boot entry information from the EFI system partition (ESP), usually mounted at /efi/, /boot/, or /boot/efi/ during OS runtime, as well as from the Extended Boot Loader partition if it exists (usually mounted to /boot/). Configuration file fragments, kernels, initrds and other EFI images to boot generally need to reside on the ESP or the Extended Boot Loader partition.

(The EFI partition is unencrypted).
