This is my disk layout:

500 GB Linux - BTRFS

100 GB Windows - NTFS

400 GB Storage - NTFS (shared between linux and windows)

I want to encrypt everything. For Linux I can use luks2 but what I’m supposed to do for Windows ? (No bitlocker please)

Will veracrypt replace refind boot manager?

Note: I am talking about the one that asks password before boot (full encryption)

    If the reason for you wanting to avoid bitlocker is incompatibility with linux, you might want to reconsider. It’s been many years since I had drives with bitlocker+ntfs, but they worked reasonably well back then with dislocker, so perhaps check that out before considering alternatives.

      You can’t choose the bitlocker password yourself right? If that’s true, then that’s why I avoid bitlocker.

        Years ago, you could - I’m not sure what the situation is currently, but it would be extremely weird if they had removed this possibility entirely. You could see if the official command line tool does what you need. At least there seems to be an option to change the password.
