Have you read through this thread? https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8682734.html

Seems relevant by the first few posts.

I was thinking grub may be unable to find the correct initrd for some reason, like missing grub modules. This doesn't make sense since it can boot your vanilla image and doesn't print an error when booting your image.

If it hangs after grub's EFI loader I would check the EFI grub install... But I don't know luks so no idea what to look for.

The only phenomenon that I take seriously as potentially supernatural, or connected to something we have no way of explaining is the experience of consciousness.

Don't forget carbon monoxide poisoning most likely contributed significantly to ghost stories before the risks of indoor fires for heat were known.

Bansi Buddy and NetZero of course!

But really it's winamp, which of course I would still use on Linux except I've become a disciple of the streaming gods.

Plus software like that probably runs great in wine or proton or whatever the new thing is

I second the idea that this is a bad idea, but...

Maybe a remote desktop solution is what you want, keep your data local or in your cloud account and provide remote access to a machine that can use it?

You could roll your own self destruct script that will wipe the machine on boot if it hasn't phoned home in a while. You would want to lock the bios and use secure boot. Qubes may have some relevant features.

Also, consider getting a Chromebook instead. ChromeOS is already a walled garden and I think they are remote wipeable and they can run a Linux vm supported by elgoog.

Aliasing seems to already be out of hand, maybe it's for the best we feel the pain.
