+The summary is "How i automate my mint os install "
+Hi, I'm on episode 3 of Live in the Tax Life, where I document me, my journey of running
+with Linux has my daily driver, since last time I got new laptop, then a new VOT14 as AMD
+would stick to thinking around.
+I'm recording the episode and I'm still running the experiment, and I'm absolutely loving
+it.
+I haven't had anything that forces me to use Windows yet, I've been automating my installation
+progress, which I'll deep dive into during this episode.
+Regarding the TE4S laptop, it's brilliant, it's fast and a battery life is amazing.
+Intesting on getting around about 6 to 7 hours of constant use, since I've brought
+it second hand, I checked the battery capacity, and it was at 98% and I had an 48 cycles,
+so it was unbelievable.
+I was going to get new battery, but there's no point.
+In future episodes, I want to talk about using something like Perfucius, to monitor the
+battery usage and also RAM usage, because I'd really like to have a laptop with 30
+kgm, but the problem is that they're very rarely used when you get the memory is sold
+on the board.
+So I've been automating my setup, pick up and try, and next, I've been on a number of
+laptops, I had lying around, I haven't automated the actual installation of it in
+the next minute, but actually it's not like this is possible.
+As I mentioned before, I like to have my laptop hard drive and cryptid, in case I need
+to deal the haste.
+I've been a second new option to install Mint with LVM and setting the encrypted drive
+part, dives option.
+The problem is that I want to have a custom partition setup on my laptop, I put in a
+mini, one terabyte m.2 drive into the laptop, I want to have a 100 gigabyte root partition
+phase gig, gig, swap partition, a 700 gig, home drive, and a 100 gig as a backup drive
+for time shift.
+The rest of the space can be used if I want to expand any of the partitions in the future,
+I've talked more about time shift they do in the episode.
+I want to separate the space out so that if I need to reinstall my home drive wouldn't
+be affected.
+I looked at how to set up a custom partition with an experiment, but it looks like it's
+not possible to do an installation when you're using LVM.
+There are two options, setting up the partitions first and installing the instrument on them.
+But it is quite in-depth, and if you want to use LVM encrypted drive, I find a guide
+that suggests that you select the standard install with LVM and encrypt the drive, then
+after the install you can strengthen the drive to create extra partitions.
+I'll link in a show next to my guide how I do this.
+So after the install while the LVM is still loaded on the system, I shrunk the main
+repartition down to 100 gig, as I resize the spot tissue to 30 gig, and then create the
+partition home for home at 100 gig and 100 gig for backups.
+I then run a number of commands to move the home directly to new partition, I had set
+up.
+They are mounted to the LVM volume, rebooted, and there it was, or working.
+So I wanted to install all my apps, fight, act, and flatback, and restore my configs.
+I'll even link again in the show notes where details of all these commands.
+Firstly, I wanted to find out what applications I had to install via app, and flatback.
+I tried a number of commands, but I found that the one that worked for me, it showed
+instance in the show notes, as managed to just show all the application is stored, since
+we're including one to sort it when you install the OS.
+But I wanted to just list dusting ones and stores into the installing the expense.
+I'm using a program called Ansible to auto setup my machine, it's a tool used by default
+to people to configure and make machines using SSH.
+But by using the connection load collection, it can be used to configure your load
+call machine.
+You can store Ansible by app, then you need to create a Yamaha, I'll click example in my blog
+As you can see, you can store app for repositories and sorts of certificates for them.
+Each second is a different part, you can see, I then install the apps, fire app, adding
+this, you pulled earlier.
+And then you can see, I added a list of all the fat packs I wanted to install too.
+You can run the Ansible Highfirm Paybook command, point into the Yamaha, and you'll see
+it come back showing what where it is in installing each section, after it run, you can
+see all my apps were installed.
+I haven't, I have all my Ansible Yamaha's going to just to a private Git repository,
+just in case I'll put some sense of information in there.
+Next I wanted to list all preferences, like Git configs, the great preferences, either
+normally are in the dock config folder in your home directory.
+These are the hidden files, so you'd have to normally go to the top and go to view and show
+a hidden file to you, or to see them.
+At the moment, I manually copy these from a working laptop and commit them to my repo.
+I can then go into my Git repo, I can go into Git repo into another podcast.
+If anyone is interested in a manual of PC config files on my new install, you can configure
+Ansible to check out these repo and copy them to the OECM machine by haven't done
+this yet.
+Next I'll things like setting up all papers and keyboard shortcuts.
+I have configured.
+To transfer these over, you need to use decomp, this dump to get a name config to a file.
+I have lots of trouble setting this, but if because I was using cd to run decomp, you
+don't need to.
+You basically export the root of the decomp to a text file on the source OS and then import
+it up onto your new OS.
+I reviewed by that top and it was all set up.
+I reached the conference guide to this, on my blog.
+Defining each step, the last thing I wanted to talk about is time shift, which is a backup
+tool.
+I'll go into more details about my plan to back get my laptop in the future.
+What I wanted to do is help with your reddit against a bad update, time shift is installed
+by default in the X-Men by default, it's not used to back up your home directory, but
+it can be used to back up the root directory.
+So if sometimes you can use it to help, you will get restored and get your system working
+up again.
+I can forget to back up back up to the partition I created earlier, and I can forget
+it to back up one to day.
+I haven't tried restoring from it yet as a system failure, but I have tested it to restore
+file from the back up and that works.
+And that's it for this episode.
+Thank you for watching.
+See you in the next video.
+Until next time.
