Macs have FileVault and I use that.
There doesn't seem to be much of a downside other than potentially forgetting the recovery key.

Arch Linux. Did use Manjaro before but I wanted to finally have the "real arch experience".
Currently trying to use nerd font icons for my dwm status bar

My biggest concern was when I read this:
Warning: In any scenario, never use file system repair software such as fsck directly on an encrypted volume, or it will destroy any means to recover the key used to decrypt your files. Such tools must be used on the decrypted (opened) device instead.

That sounds pretty serious tbh but maybe I misunderstood something. volume != partition for example?
I'll make this a dedicated post so more stackers can see this

I use Fedora and have been putting this issue off all the time. I should do it this weekend and encrypt the drive.
