What is this setup that requires thousands and thousands of dollars to achieve encryption? It’s just typing ‘y’ and hitting enter during my install, if anything. It’s good general practice and the highest cost involved is a totally negligible effort to type an additional password in at boot. It’s not like we were talking about rigging up some crazy kill switch that somehow physically destroy your drives at a keystroke if you think the feds have shown up.
Why did you feel the need to come into this thread and broadcast your opinion on something you know nothing about? Encryption is not made any less effective just because people made free tools to implement it easily.
It’s just math. It’s not a finite resource, and there isn’t “premium math” you have to go buy at the math store to make your encryption stronger.
Uh, no. Almost everything you can do for logical security only requires free software. Something as easy as ticking the box “encrypt my drive” and putting in a good password when installing Ubuntu or whatever is about as easy as it gets and is LUKS2 (“actual security”, as far as at-rest data encryption is concerned).

Anything that easy isn’t going to do anything. If you want actual security you would have to spend a lot of money for very little chance it would work
