This comment, hell this whole thread, is enormously insightful and productive. It feels like a genuine discussion of men’s issues that isn’t on the offensive as it often feels when masculinity is the topic. Thank you and all commenters like you who took the time to make a good point.
Yes, very. I’ve seen people do a similar thing with a separate encrypted home partition which is decrypted by a key stored in your encrypted root. However, I’d strongly recommend you use an LVM on LUKS setup (this is what I do). That way you decrypt one partition and you don’t have to mess around with keyfiles. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS
