The posts here are my personal views and do not reflect the positions of my employer or the views of Field Marshal Haig, Field Marshal Haig's wife, all Field Marshal Haig's wife's friends, their families, their families' servants, their families' servants' tennis partners, and some chap I bumped into in the mess the other day called Bernard.

To create a custom partition layout with LVM and LUKS for an Ubuntu 24.04 desktop installation, it appears I must first install Ubuntu on one disk, then manually partition a second disk, and finally rsync the installation to the second disk.
