Installing an operating system and enabling encryption won’t overwrite the data on the entire disk. Instead, it will only overwrite on the specific sectors on which this operating system was installed.

Other “previous” data on the disk will remain intact and unaffected.

No.

Thank you very much! It works now!!! I used the disable-gpp0-wakeup service workaround from here. Unfortunately, I can’t wake my computer with the keyboard or mouse, only with the power button, but I’ll figure that out on my own.

Thank you so much for pointing out the issue.

All “Wake on” things are disabled in my UEFI settings.

GNOME 47 probably

transphobic? even better! 😃

So, the flash memory wasn’t built into the terminal, it was a 2.5-inch SSD drive that I yanked out of its plastic case to fit into the terminal’s SATA slot.

Once unplugged it, I dumped the disk image using the dd command onto my computer, and then I worked on that image to recover the data.

No, half of the file system sectors were corrupted, but I was able to recover all my files. I’m still wondering how my files survived exactly on uncorrupted sectors…

The device was already protected by a UPS, but it failed and shut down.
