From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I believe thats how Android works. As I recall, it uses fscrypt.
Yeah, it sounds like something you could do with SE linux and some scripting to handle mounting the user's filesystem as needed.
Ok, I went and read some more about it, and you can manage keys with the kernel user session keyring. So it's possible.
It brought me back around to why systemd is so shitty.
fscrypt
Emphasis mine. Because the user session keyring is incompatible with systemd, the Poetterites say it shouldn't be used.
The only way to handle keys securely Ok base Linux shouldn't be used because it's incompatible with systemd. What a way to see the world: so convinced in the superiority of your monolithic monster system that you argue against an immediately available way of improving security.
It's incompatible, by the way, because systemd doesn't run user jobs in the user's session, but in parallel sessions. This means that, if you use systemd, you can't use the most secure way of handling secrets with fscrypt, the kernel user session keyring.
