Description

This issue consolidates #284, #375, #398 and #432. Further requests for corrections / improvements to FDE-related content should be made here, until all outstanding issues have been resolved.

  • Refactor "Full Disk Encryption" section (#284)
  • Add information regarding swap(/files) and hibernation in Full Disk Encryption (#375)
  • FDE + EFI reworking (#398)
  • Clarify what steps need to be taken to enable TRIM on an FDE setup (#432)

i'll close #284, #375, #398 and #432 as superseded by this issue, but of course, the discussions in those issues should still be referred to.
