re/ the Mac Mini + eGPU + File Vault = no reboot... Really? Brutal!

I was just yesterday looking at a new Mac Mini and a couple of LG 5K monitors (and, thus, the Apple Store eGPU). And I use File Vault. Because Apple.

So is this a known reboot problem? I want to run this Mac Mini as an always-on server for home media when logged out.

Any Apple support links on this?

> 1. If you have a Mac mini (2018) with FileVault turned on, make sure to connect your primary display directly to Mac mini during startup. After you log in and see the macOS Desktop, you can unplug the display from Mac mini and connect it to your eGPU.
