    Is there anyone using fscrypt on their primary laptop? Last install i forgot to set up LUKS and have been eyeing fscrypt to not have to do a reinstall but is a bit weary about how stable and battle tested it is yet.

      fscrypt is super unfriendly to users (esp. east asian users) due to its tight file name length limit (255 -> 143).

        That's eCryptfs, a very different (and deprecated) technology
