Repack live
===========
You might want to save the state of your live system to the usb stick. In order
to do so, run the following commands:

apt update
apt-get install -y cpio pigz
rm /etc/rc.local
# remove '#' before allow-hotplug
vi /etc/network/interfaces
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mv /mnt/initrd.gz /mnt/initrd.old
cd /
find . -xdev | cpio --quiet -H newc -o | pigz -9 > /mnt/initrd.gz
umount /mnt

iwd
===
With iwd you can force to use 5ghz. The following needs to be done to get iwd
running.

sudo apt-get install iwd

cat <<EOF > /etc/iwd/main.conf

        BandModifier5Ghz=10
EOF

# Remove or comment out the following interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces
# allow-hotplug wlp1s0f0
# iface wlp1s0f0 inet dhcp
#         wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

# Add the following interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

# Reboot
reboot

# Configure iwd:
sudo iwctl
device list
station wlan0 scan
station wlan0 get-networks
station wlan0 connect SSID

Deinstall Linux

# Lets assume you have the following partioning

(mini) [~] sudo parted /dev/nvme0n1 print
Model: APPLE SSD AP0256Q (nvme)
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 251GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

 6      246GB   251GB  5369MB               RecoveryOSContainer

# Never delete the first, the second and the last partition because that either
# renders your mac unbootable (first two) or unupgradable (last one). However
# you can recover the system by using a second system if you screw up.

# In the above example we need to delete the partition number 3 (stub partition
# you can identify it by the size 2500 MB). The partition 4 (you can identtify
# it by the fact that it is fat32 and the flags boot, esp). And the partition
# number 5 (you can identify it by the fact that it is ext4).

You delete the partitions by doing:

# n is the partition number
sudo parted /dev/nvme0n1 rm <n>

# If you're asked if you want to proceed, say 'y'. If your asked if you want to
# ignore, say, ignore.
