My laptop isn’t under my supervision most of the time. And I’d hate it if someone were to steal my SSD, or whole laptop even, when I’m not around. Is there a way to encrypt everything, but still keep the device in sleep, and unclock it without much delay. It’s a very slow laptop. So decryption on login isn’t viable, takes too long. While booting up also takes forever, so it needs to be in a “safe” state when simply logged out. Maybe a way that’s decrypt-on-demand?

I’m on Arch with KDE.

    Okay I just had a bit of freetime to test it: doesn’t work… if I log out or sleep, my home dir is still mounted. Meaning it’s as good as nothing. Looked at the plasma fix, didn’t work. I have a pretty good lead, that I need the topmost template from some wiki:

    [Unit]
    PartOf=graphical-session.target
    

    Problem is, where in the world should I write this? I really don’t expect you to know, but maybe I’m talking to a genius. The internet didn’t help, or I used it wrong.
