    encrypting /home is good if you have multiple users also eCryptfs is also thing for several years just like LUKS/dm-crypt

      /home encryption can be useful, but the fact that the installer does not offer FDE is laughable.

      Also don’t use ecryptfs, it sucks.

          Luks is fantastic. Ecryptfs not so much.
