I have a surprisingly simple use case: The data I care about lives in my ~, e.g. /home/rumo, which includes podman containers, FlatPak apps and network settings and things like that. And I even have other users on that same machine. I prefer not to share any passwords if I can help it. Note that I'm referring to the actual home. There is little point in encrypting the entirety of /home in this context from my perspective. Regards, Cris On 3/17/20 9:45 PM, Vojtěch Zeisek wrote:

I never got why to encrypt just disk when there are bunch of data leaking via /tmp. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1166005 is a good reason to just encrypt /home There is still ample of parameter space between encrypting

As soon as the mentioned bug is fixed (I do use encrypted /, including / boot), I really don't get why to encrypt just my ~ and I can't imagine any working usecase for portability of ~ ...? I don't argue *against* it, I just lack imagination to find it useful. :-)
