MAGIC aka Making Anything Gruelingly "Impossible" Coherent

Whatever operating system you are using to create the USB, you will need to have a Windows 10 ISO, either from Microsoft or your system manufacturer and have a USB drive 8GB or larger (or one with at least 5GB of free space and using the FAT32 filesystem, but using a fresh and empty one is best).

TL;DR

#macOS/Linux
# First try the `bootiso` program, it has options for splitting the WIM for you!
# https://jsamr.github.io/bootiso/
# You need to already have 7zip aka `p7zip` on macOS and Linux, and `wimlib` macOS via `brew` or `wimtools` on Linux

Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.

Solution:

To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

• Example: https://gist.github.com/dragon788/7a7524ddc2946b2b5d114ce615465697/raw/
• Works even when you change the filename.

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]

Crypt-fix

Use this script via curl -L -O https://gist.github.com/dragon788/e777ba64d373210e4f6306ad40ee0e80/raw/a86f3d05fb56feb6ef01fc2d61a4feb2fd82b281/crypt-fix.sh and sudo bash ./crypt-fix.sh. You may need to edit the DEVICE variable to reflect your disk and partition layout (this was created on an EFI system using LUKS and LVM). It will prompt you for your disk password once to mount and discover the correct name for the encrypted volume mount and then prompt again to mount with the correct name so that the update-initramfs command succeeds with the appropriate mapping, if this wasn't done you would get a warning and your next boot would still fail.

After losing access to rEFInd yet again (Windows 10 Anniversary Edition), I was able to find the proper invocation of BCDEdit thanks to a helpful person on StackOverflow. None of the Microsoft documentation mentions this, but you NEED single quotes around {bootmgr} for sure if you are in the PowerShell shell, but possibly also if you are in the Command Prompt. This allowed me to add a new entry for rEFInd and I've had to do this multiple times so I know it works on Windows 10.

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi 

becomes

bcdedit /set '{bootmgr}' path \EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi

ASUS makes a pretty handy Chromebox, and it's handy not just because it's running ChromeOS, it's handy because of everything you can do to the box itself.

The ASUS Chromebox is easily upgradeable, and capable of running just about any linux distribution.

The model I picked up, the M004U has the following specs:

• Celeron 2955U (1.4GHz) 64 bit Dual core processor with 2MB L3 Cache
• 2GB DDR3 1600 RAM with 2 slots
• 16GB SSD HDD
• 802.11 b/g/n dual-band wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, and gigabit ethernet

If you are installing Guix as an unprivileged user, it is still possible to run guix-daemon provided you pass --disable-chroot. However, build processes will not be isolated from one another, and not from the rest of the system.
