I had bad experiences with many kinds of ‘whole disk encryption’ schemes. They do not seem to survive the test of time. A simple one file encryption is far better and Veracrypt will do for most users. Encryption, like a lot of things, is more an economic problem than anything else. What is it that you are trying to protect, against who, and can you afford it? I think that for the average person, the answers are; What: My personal data. Against who: A possible thief. Can I afford it: Veracrypt is free.
It might not hold decrypting from some of the world’s superpower countries, but do you really need that?
