Why don't you use full disk encryption? Remember thumbnails and temp files store sensitive data.

For a laptop? Sure.
For my desktops? Nope.
You use encryption to prevent others from accessing your sensitive data. If someone gets physical access to my desktop then I have bigger security problems.

Better safe than sorry. Anyone can rob a house in just a few minutes.
h-how can i do that
I don't want to have to enter the password for my encryption and then the password for my user everytime I turn on the computer to protect nothing of any value

Easiest way is to install linux and select it in the installation.

You can set the os to auto login.

If someone breaks into my apartment and robs me then I'm fucked. I really don't own expensive stuff. The only thing of value would be my personal info which can be found my file cabinets.
Encrypting my HDD will not un-fuck me in the event of a breakin. There is no advantage to encrypting my drives. Maybe you could make the case if I had roommates.
Because I don't do anything that would require it. I'm a good, moral person.

I do on my laptop, a portable HDD and my phone (Nexus 4). Not on my desktop, no reason to.

>use veracrypt
Why? There is nothing wrong with TrueCrypt to replace it. Read that page
>>56139377
It's deprecated and no longer can provide security updates.
>>56139384
>security updates
Well, there are no security issues to begin with.

Come back when the audit has completed.
