I'm willing to risk that since I rarely use any of my swap.

  You can and should encrypt your partition, since your home key might end up there. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems If you want hibernate to work you can use uswsusp for example: https://we.riseup.net/debian/encrypted-swap https://we.riseup.net/debian/encrypted-swap Sleep always works, but as mentioned above, your key will be in memory...

    Interesting.... I think i'll stick with user directory encryption, but thanks for those links.

      Well, I use /home with luks on some machines and user directory (encfs) on others, but have all of them with swap encrypted or no swap partition at all. Since the keys/other private info might leak there, you are not doing it right, unless you have sysctl swappness level set to 0. Not only that, /tmp and other temporary directories might also be another leaky place...
