I would like to suggest that both the Beginner's Guide and Encrypted Installation be merged. This would be in-line with Hyperbola's commitment to privacy.

But with some differences, otherwise things go wrong.

This is one of the differences after this command is used:

Change the value of the uncommented MODULES line to i915.

    This forces the driver to load earlier, so that the console font you selected earlier isn’t wiped out after getting to login.

If this seems confusing, trust me its not as confusing as you may think.
