Might not contribute much to the discussion, but I found this pretty sad:
- Mac users can encrypt their drive with 1 click.
- Windows users would need the Pro version and prefer laptop hardware that supports TPM.
- Linux users would require disk reformatting
- mi100hael 10y agoI believe that's slightly misleading. Enabling LUKS on Linux would require a re-format, but there are ways to encrypt only your home folder without a re-format, which is all macOS does.

- nkkollaw 10y agoYeah, but I have a lot of stuff outside my home folder. Including /etc/passwd.
