I run Linux and use full disk encryption, but I also have a few encrypted directories using EncFS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EncFS
Right now it's just for sensitive documents (i.e., anything that could be used to steal my identity). I used to also store my passwords in an encrypted directory, but now I've migrated to a password manager (which of course has an encrypted database).
If someone steals my computer while it's on and the drive is decrypted, they won't be able to obtain the most sensitive information the vast majority of the time.
