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.

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

    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?
