I'm seeking advice and wisdom! My laptop is currently fully encrypted. It has a partition that contains a crypt that contains some logical volumes that contain all file systems except /boot
It occurs to me I might be better off just encrypting my home directory. I think this might improve performance as the system would not have to decrypt the operating system files. Not sure how big an impact this would have. Presumably I would no longer get prompted for a pass phrase every time I switch the machine on. Very secure, but annoying! Am I right in thinking that the home dir encryption effectively uses my password to protect it, or would I have to enter my password and an encryption pass phrase every time I log on? Any thoughts?
