The appeal of Truecrypt is that it works on Windows. As you've suggested, there are better encryption programs and schemes for users of GNU/Linux operating systems.
The questionable license, and obscure nature of the project should be significant reasons not to use Truecrypt. That doesn't even begin to consider the actual security of the program.
- doreo 13y agoThe appeal of Truecrypt is the deniable encryption and the alternatives for that are sparse and bad on any operating system
- yabatopia 13y agoToo bad Windows 8 isn't supported, so Truecrypt loses much of its appeal to Windows users.
