      I mean I don't know shit about it but if I was the NSA I would absolutely say "yeah let's have em all stick a special chip on the board that does cryptography that we definitely don't have direct access to somehow"

      Desktop operating systems (Windows, Linux) are miles behind mobile operating systems (Android, iOS) when it comes to full disk encryption. Android and iOS do it out of the box and you don't even notice, but if you want to set something like this up on Windows or the vast majority of Linux distros, you really have to tread into the weeds. It would be a blessing for this to change.

        Linux MInt gives you the option for encryption during install. Either home partition or entire disk. I've had full disk encryption for years.
