Depends on what sort of underlying file system you want to use on the drive. For Linux filesystems (ext4, btrfs, zfs etc), here's a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt

For NTFS, BitLocker is already baked in to Windows.

I won't really trust Bitlocker coming from Microsoft.

What do you have against NSA_KEY I swear it's not a backdoor!

I've nothing against NSA_KEY nor Bitlocker, but anything in context with GAFAM I take it with grain of salt.

You have nothing about backdoors being built into the OS? Really?

What are you talking about? Ofcourse everyone should worry about backdoors and other vulnerabilities. But I'm sceptical if bitlocker is the right solution.

On a serious note I use a lot of tools to circumvent those vulnerabilities.

Bitlocker is only redumentary included in the cheaper Windows "Home" versions
only the "Pro" version actually includes proper Bitlocker tools which is frankly a pretty stupid move
