Archived I was discussing encryption in another post when I began to wonder something: is it possible to encrypt your entire OS? (AskVoat)

I hope I'm explaining this correctly. Would it be possible to put some strong encryption up around your entire operating system and all of your data therein? Essentially booting your computer up to a password screen for said encryption rather than one for the OS itself?
If not, what's the closest you can get?

Truecrypt did it, but it's not being updated anymore.

Aww, this makes me happy. I don't have a use for TrueCrypt anymore, but when I heard the bad news, I felt very bad for the creators and the community.
Glad to see it's being properly forked. Fuck yeah open source software!

Thanks. I knew someone had said they would update it, but I lost track of it a long time ago, and haven't had time to look into it.

you could check out VeraCrypt, it's a fork and IIRC some trueCrypt developers are involved in this project as well

Veracrypt has been a great alternative.
