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.

Ooo haven't read the article yet but I'm hoping its a veracrypt alternative, hopefully they also have options to use keyfiles.

Edit: the article mentioned some customization but not at the level of veracrypt still not bad at all. It'll probably really take off after an audit but looks pretty neat. Also seems to have been around for a few years now, earliest article is around 2017, so I guess its not very popular but curious if anyone has experience using it?

Is there a problem with VeraCrypt?

[–] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh not at all just like having options available in case a project becomes inactive or some other problem happens. Love Veracrypt

Oh awesome! Yeah more options is handy.
