We will use GPT and grub as the bootloader.

# First Hard drive (nvme0n1)
The ESP will reside in the first partition mounted to /efi.
The kernel and initramfs will be the second partition and will be mounted to /boot
The third partition on nvme0n1 will be encrypted with Luks with a password.
The encrypted partition on the first drive will always require a password to be manually entered on boot.
