    Depends on what sort of underlying file system you want to use on the drive. For Linux filesystems (ext4, btrfs, zfs etc), here’s a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt

    For NTFS, BitLocker is already baked in to Windows.

          I’ve nothing against NSA_KEY nor Bitlocker, but anything in context with GAFAM I take it with grain of salt.

              What are you talking about? Ofcourse everyone should worry about backdoors and other vulnerabilities. But I’m sceptical if bitlocker is the right solution.

              On a serious note I use a lot of tools to circumvent those vulnerabilities.

      Bitlocker is only redumentary included in the cheaper Windows “Home” versions
      only the “Pro” version actually includes proper Bitlocker tools which is frankly a pretty stupid move
