@thelinuxcast hey Matt! I'm having some thoughts about switching to Debian for a bit. But, I would like to use my existing LUKS encrypted BTRFS filesystem, and use my existing home subvolume. Doubt the standard GUI installer can handle all of that.
Which brings me to debootstrap - basically installing Debian "the Arch way". Was wondering if you've ever tried this and/or would consider doing a video?

@taimaninuehararin I've not really used Debian that in depth. Have you checked out Just A Guy Linux? He's shown how to do setup btrfs. IDK about the LUKs part or the same home subvol, but it might give you part of it. Lmk if you need a link

@thelinuxcast I think I should be able to figure out most of it. I've installed Arch and Gentoo the old fashioned way probably 20-30 times with some unique setups ranging from the most basic, also LVM on LUKS, recently BTRFS on LUKS with a unified kernel image signed for secureboot. I think all I'll need to figure out is the Debian specific stuff. For example, does Debian use the mkinitcpio script for the initramfs like Arch does or Dracut like Gentoo does? Things like that
