Any thoughts on full disk encryption? Pros and cons?

@mgiagante Pros:
- Well, without your password, your disk is useless, that’s pretty straightforward.
- You can ensure dual booting into another OS cannot read the encrypted disk (unless you give it the password), so no malware would be able to peek in.
- Relatively difficult to break with technical means. Definitely outside the scope of a regular burglar.
Cons:
- What’s your threat model, really? A state-sponsored adversary could just torture you until you give up the password.
