A Guide to Switching to Linux | Manjaro Edition: Part 3 (Encrypting the Home Folder)

In this video, I show you how to encrypt your home folder on Manjaro after installation.
Disclaimer: While the odds are extremely low, there is a very small chance that setting up encryption on your home folder will cause data loss. Because of this, it's a good idea to make a backup of your data beforehand. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS THAT MAY OCCUR BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE!
Commands:
Install ecryptfs: sudo pacman -S ecryptfs-utils lsof
Load ecryptfs kernel module: sudo modprobe ecryptfs
Set up home folder encryption: sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u [username] (example: sudo ecryptfs-migrate-home -u drew)
Make home folder writable: sudo chmod 700 /home/[username] (example: sudo chmod 700 /home/drew)
Delete unencrypted backup of home folder (AFTER YOU HAVE MADE SURE THAT ALL YOUR DATA HAS BEEN MIGRATED!): sudo rm -rf /home/[unencrypted home folder backup] (example: sudo rm -rf /home/drew.NjlWjdHC)
This video is part of a series entitled "A Guide to Switching to Linux | Manjaro Edition". The purpose of this series is to make it easier for a Windows user to migrate to Linux (or in the case of this guide, Manjaro specifically) by going over what Manjaro is, how to install it, how to use it, and what to expect in your journey of switching from Windows to Linux, and kind of get you "jumpstarted" on Manjaro.
