My laptop isn’t under my supervision most of the time. And I’d hate it if someone were to steal my SSD, or whole laptop even, when I’m not around. Is there a way to encrypt everything, but still keep the device in sleep, and unclock it without much delay. It’s a very slow laptop. So decryption on login isn’t viable, takes too long. While booting up also takes forever, so it needs to be in a “safe” state when simply logged out. Maybe a way that’s decrypt-on-demand?

I’m on Arch with KDE.

    Detectors say that you are human, you use multiple languages, and you are a moderator, but it feels like a 101 AI response. It’s horrible that we’re living in an era where you need to be careful about this. You were probably trying to format it nice, but I’ve only read this phrasing from AI.

    But thanks for the answer, the home folder would probably be best. I don’t want to think about it after setting it up. All my downloads and docs are there. I also feel like the whole filesystem would take forever for me to unlock/boot.

      Are the detectors part for real or were you just kidding? 😲

      Yes, I was, because I like to put my text well formated… I feel pain when I have to read bad formated texts, so I try to be as clean as possible

      For home folder I think there is a better alternative, like systemd-homed or something like that

        they got your back, why are you suprised?

        Others also said systemd-homed. And it looks promising, I’ll try it, but honestly I have no idea how to test it? From another user? From a liveboot usb?

          Because I don’t even knew that this kind of tool exists. And it was precise AF. I just got surprised/scared haha

          About systemd-homed, I guess that liveusb will not work… I suggest you to try in a VM and everything going ok, you may try on another user on your pc

            Oh, I think I’ll wipe my laptop, and do it live. What I wanted to ask was how do I know if it’s working?
