Leto is a Beelink SER8 Mini PC with a AMD Ryzen 9 8745HS CPU (8 cores, 4.9 GHz boost, hyperthreading, AVX-512), 32G RAM, 1TB SSD (Crucial P3 Plus).

The naming

Leto is a goddess and the mother of Apollo and Artemis. She is the daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe, and the sister of Asteria. […] Classical Greek myths record little about Leto other than her pregnancy and search for a place where she could give birth to Apollo and Artemis, since Hera, the wife of Zeus, in her jealousy ordered all lands to shun her and deny her shelter.

Components

Rough setup

• Partition the disk, we adopt the same layout as hera:

  mkfs.fat -F 32 -n EFI /dev/nvme0n1p1
  cryptsetup luksFormat --type luks1 /dev/nvme0n1p2
  cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 cryptlvm
  
  
  lvcreate -n swap -L 16G ssd
  lvcreate -n root -L 128G ssd
  lvcreate -n home -L 256G ssd
  lvcreate -n data -L 512G ssd
  
  
  mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/mapper/ssd-root
  mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/mapper/ssd-home
  mkfs.ext4 -L data /dev/mapper/ssd-data
  mkswap -L swap /dev/mapper/ssd-swap
  
  
  mount /dev/mapper-ssd-root /mnt
  mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
  mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
  

• We need to set GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y in /etc/default/grub. Ensure the grub.cfg does some unlocking to check if it worked.

• Video RAM is configurable in BIOS: Advanced -> AMD CBS -> NBIO -> GFX -> iGPU configuration.
