< p > I ordered a new Dell Precision 3561 with the minimal ram and ssd configuration,
running Ubuntu 20.04.< / p >
< p > The plan was to transfer a luks-encrypted Arch Linux from my Lenovo T460 to a
luks-encrypted thumbdrive. Then run Arch Linux from the thumbdrive on the new Precision 3561 for
a few days while I waited for Amazon to deliver some 1tb Samsung 830 nvme ssds.
And then finally to transfer the Arch installation from the thumbdrive onto an
luks-encrypted software raid1 mirror on the new Precision 3561.< / p >
< p > Everything went according to plan, with not a single stumble or mishap; and so
I'm documenting here how it went down. The only thing left to do now is to order
64gb of ram, so I can run Android Studio, and continue working on
< a href = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.trentpalmer.trentreads" target = "_blank" > my Android App< / a >
(which needs some work). And of course update Arch Linux 5 times a day.< / p >
< p > I use Arch Linux, btw!< / p >
< h2 id = "creating-a-rescue-disk" > Creating a Rescue Disk< / h2 >
< p > The transfer process I came up with involved two thumb drives: one to serve as
a live disk to work from, and the other to temporarily run Arch on the new laptop.< / p >
< p > So why would I not use an Arch install disk as a live disk? Because I cache Arch
packages on my lan using an Nginx reverse-cacheing proxy, which makes it really
fast to simply bootstrap (pacstrap) a new Arch installation onto a thumb drive,
exactly as I would install Arch anywhere else.< / p >
