your attack speed will be still the same, maybe some litte boosts from rules amplifier, but still slow due to the high iterations in luks

so it doesnt matter using bruteforce or a bruteforce like generated list for this attack

Yes I am basically fu**ed all my data is inaccessible.  But can this change if there are better GPU's ?  
What are the options if any?

well just keep it running and hope for a lucky punch, when using bruteforce by hashcat generator it will shuffle the candidates anyway, not quite sure whether this also happens when feeding hashcat with a passwordlist, maybe someone of the devs can answer this

Luck and time are the factors, but my GPU @ 75h per sec...  plus it's a laptop.  

Also is it possible to run hashcat on the Hash Header of 2mb that I extracted instead of the partition image that I created?  

And I asked this site onlinehashcrack that supposedly have 20 rtx 3090 and they quoted 7000 days to Crack a 10 low cap characters.  I am not sure if that is correct.

One positive aspect is that I am learning alot on this subject  if I would known all this I would not have been locked out of my disk.
