Pretty FOSS?

PC - Thinkpad T14s Gen 4: EndeavourOS, Firefox and Thunderbird with the Proton suite of things such as Mail, Pass and VPN - I do pay for them but I think it's worth it.

Phone - Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS and as many F-Droid apps as possible. Proton apps for Mail, Pass, Drive, VPN. Cromite browser. The only that aren't are probably my banking apps, but I could always switch to web I guess.

I think my biggest hurdle is a Map app that has traffic data that isn't Google maps.

Per this article from EndeavourOS discovery I was able to repair my similar issue.

https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/arch-chroot/2022/12/

However my device wasn't encrypted. However near the bottom are instructions if you are and they don't quite match what you said you did. Maybe give it a try?

"Encrypted installs In case /dev/sda2 is the encrypted root partition you need to unlock:

sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 mycryptdevice

It will ask for your LUKS passphrase and unlocks the device into the path /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice

This path can be used to mount the device:

sudo mount /dev/mapper/mycryptdevice /mnt

Followed by mounting the ESP (EFI-System-Partition) into the already mounted system:

sudo mount /dev/sdXn /mnt/efi

where in all cases /dev/sdXn needs to be changed according to what is used on your install as partition/device path and the mount path for the ESP needs to get changed according to your installed system in case. If it is /efi you need to mount on /mnt/efi if it is /boot/efi it would be /mnt/boot/efi …"

I legit thought that was about to be the joke he was going for at first.

Holy moly great news. There's hope for our /home after all. I think Firefox has an open bug thread or request thread for XDG Base Directory that's like ..20 years old?

Go for EndeavourOS if you want to use Arch with a lot of legwork done.
