Several bugs fixed! (And one drawback taken)
First off, with the fixes:
- Installer UI no longer crashes when selecting a swap option or entering encryption details (the issue was only persistent on legacy BIOS boot and without a certain configuration file (bootloader.conf, that got added))
- Encryption finally works! Can’t show in the devlog image, but a disk can be encrypted and decrypted with LUKS properly
- A non-encrypted approach of installation is also viable and works as it should
Drawback (the sad part):
- Since I couldn’t get legacy BIOS to not crash the installer in a mentioned case, after strong considerations I have decided that Matcha Linux will only officially support EFI, and enforced this behaviour in the build pipeline
- This gets along the philosophy of using modern lightweight standards that Matcha tries to utilize, so it’s not much of a loss
What remains broken:
- Swap memory does not seem to be working in the installed system, even when the necessary files ARE created by the installer
- Timezones don’t still work properly
After fixing said issues the project will be ready to ship. Hopefully it shouldn’t take more than a week
