From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When you want to protect important information, encryption is your best option, and KDE Plasma makes it easy. Here's how to use its Vaults feature.

I found CryFS, the default encryption used, to become unusable if the vault is more than a few gigs in size* - gocryptfs works without issue.

* No, you dirty minded people, I use Vaults for client information at work, not what you were thinking of.
