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 recently created a HD for dual boot Win 11 and Pop Os. I created a shared partition for Data, and separate partitions for the respective OS. I used gParted to create the partitions. It looks like Win then added bitlocker to this data partition.

(It's not really encrypted, I guess, because I didn't create a microsoft account, and didn't receive a recovery key)

So now I can't access that partition when booted into Pop OS without entering a password (which I don't have).

I'm wondering a couple of things: what's the best practice in these scenarios? Have the shared data drive not be encrypted with Bitlocker? If so, is there something else that should be done for security purposes? If not, it looks like using Dislocker is a common solution to access the drive in Linux?

i’m curious…were you just answering the questions you wanted him to ask instead?
