The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

    On Linux, selecting LUKS when you install encrypts the disk without the potential for this problem. So far it’s proven to be very reliable at stopping state level actors, just don’t use a password that you use elsewhere

      You can also, with a bit of fiddling use hardware security keys like Yubikey: https://gist.github.com/cmedianu/470a49038e919cf5bc98cd0d2299c484 if you don’t want to remember passwords (You can also install a password in another LUKS slot and it will fall-back to the password if your key fails)
