My most positive but realistic prediction: Bitcoin is gonna stay around as a pump-and-dump scheme to make the rich richer. Other cryptocurrencies will slowly fade away including (as one of the latest) ETH. They are not suitable as a currency and are more of a ~~gambling~~ investment opportunity. Per default, most cryptocurrencies are a privacy nightmare, especially Bitcoin.
There are exceptions. XMR is fairly stable in value and is actually really close to what many people want: cash but digital. If GNU Taler takes off, there's will be a more comfortable option for paying while retaining privacy, making XMR more obscure.
I assume laws and the state will also have an influence, especially with the climate catastrophe questioning the immense amount of energy necessary to run all of this. Even if crypto were more efficient if it replaced fiat, it's not gonna happen. There's hard power preventing it. Both at the same time is reckless when there are people dying.
Also money sucks in general so best case scenario it gets thrown onto the trash of history.

inb4 crypto shills: Remember that there are people whose income and investments depend on people believing bitcoin is more than gambling.

You can install Debian like Arch. Look at debootstrap and/or the Debian manual under manual installation. It's actually a pretty streamlined process, especially if you're coming from Arch.

Hey user224 how about some Rust

LUKS doesn't protect you from an evil maid attack. It hides your data when your stuff gets stolen in a powered off state, but it provides neither verification of data, nor does it provide verified/secure/safe boot.
In simple terms: the very first thing which gets loaded needs to be unencrypted (barring some exceptions I will omit here), which can get replaced with an evil version by the evil maid.

Moral imperative

Marx remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He did add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.

What is the realization?

The difference between illegal sharing (copying) and theft in one picture: the hat's gone, the meme is still there. Magic!
