does the installer offer encryption of /home?
nkuttler 2017-03-04 22:11:03
you can configure encrypted partitions
nkuttler 2017-03-04 22:11:19
so, if you do that and put home on one, yes
ghormoon 2017-03-04 22:12:37
maybe he asks about encfs like mint etc. offers, but yes, you can encrypt whole partition with luks (I'd personaly prefer that)
quesada_ 2017-03-04 22:12:54
ok
quesada_ 2017-03-04 22:13:01
I don't know much about it
quesada_ 2017-03-04 22:13:15
I want something simple that will survive kernel upgrades
nkuttler 2017-03-04 22:13:51
quesada_: kernel upgrades hardly matter
nkuttler 2017-03-04 22:14:26
luks has been working for more than a decade now
quesada_ 2017-03-04 22:14:49
so luks >> encfs, which is what the installers use?
ghormoon 2017-03-04 22:18:23
well only advantage of encfs I can think of is that multiple users can use the same partition and have their own passwords, but if it is personal machine, I'd go luks
