I recently acquired a Raspberry Pi 5, but I’ve been having a lot of difficulty in getting LUKS encryption to work. Has anyone had any luck?

Also, I am using an NVMe drive, so Raspbian is really the only OS that works well. NetBSD can see the disk, too, but I found it annoying to use; and FreeBSD ended up breaking itself. I have not yet tried Armbian.

    Desktop, for programming, homework, watching video, and some light gaming (I have the 8GB model). I use disk encryption as a matter of basic security.

    I previously got it working perfectly on my RPi 3B+; but when I flashed the old card across to the NVMe drive and tried to boot, I got some error about dm_mod being missing, which meant I couldn’t use cryptsetup in the initramfs shell, so I couldn’t unlock the encrypted volume.
