Comment on Bazzite as an alternative to SteamOS?
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 months agoYeah, trouble with Bazzite at the moment is that you need a keyboard to decrypt it on boot for now. I’m waiting for the ability to enter my passphrase with the touchscreen.

Yeah, that would be a little problematic for something that is necessary on the go. Can you not just use a hardware key to prompt the paraphrase every time you boot ?

No idea. But I would even be too lazy to pop in a hardware key. And too paranoid about getting the key stolen along with the Deck.

That later I understand hahahaha. I just keep mine around for unlocking encrypted external hard drive that have been encrypted with a password and the hardware key that is just hidden in a place that only I know about. But then I would need to wait for that or just use Tails OS for the time being.

Doesn’t yubikey have an HID mode where it acts like a keyboard and types a static phrase? You could do something like that for boot. Or possibly more complicated. Idk if modern bootloaders support cooler modes where the key resides on the yubikey.
