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.

    No problem, thanks for the help. Also I got news is that I don’t have to trust anyone with my laptop, I can keep it by my side after all. Still it’s a security mesure, that I didn’t solve in time. fun fact: LUKS on /home only breaks KDE. I really don’t want to give up kde tho, I put on sway, realised that I needed to memorise console commands to change my fking volumes, so no thank you. I got spoiled by sweet UIs. it’s so comfortable that everything is at one place.
