      Here is something i found:

      Ensure LUKS Drive is Configured
      If the drive isn’t encrypted yet, you can encrypt it with LUKS:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX
      Replace /dev/sdX with the appropriate drive/partition. Be cautious—this step will erase all data on the drive.

      Add the Drive to /etc/crypttab
      Edit the /etc/crypttab file to configure the system to unlock the drive at boot.

      Open the file:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo nano /etc/crypttab
      Add an entry for the encrypted drive:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptname /dev/sdX none luks
      cryptname: A name for the decrypted device (used later in /etc/fstab).
      /dev/sdX: Path to the encrypted device.
      none: Use none for a passphrase prompt at boot or specify a path to a key file.
      luks: Indicates LUKS encryption.
      Example:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptdrive /dev/sdb1 none luks
      3. Add the Decrypted Device to /etc/fstab
      To automatically mount the decrypted drive after unlocking:

      Edit /etc/fstab:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo nano /etc/fstab
      Add an entry for the decrypted drive:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      /dev/mapper/cryptname /mnt/mountpoint ext4 defaults 0 2
      Replace:

      /dev/mapper/cryptname with the mapped device from /etc/crypttab.
      /mnt/mountpoint with your desired mount point.
      ext4 with your file system type.
      4. Generate an Initramfs
      If the root file system or a critical drive is encrypted, you’ll need to update the initramfs to include decryption tools.

      Update the initramfs:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo update-initramfs -u
      Verify that the cryptsetup package is installed in your initramfs configuration.

      Test Boot Behavior
      Reboot the system and observe the decryption process:

      If you specified none in /etc/crypttab, you should be prompted for a passphrase at boot.
      If a key file was used, the drive should decrypt automatically.
      6. Using a Key File for Automatic Decryption
      To avoid entering a passphrase at boot, use a key file:

      Generate a key file:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/root/luks-keyfile bs=4096 count=1
      Set permissions:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo chmod 600 /root/luks-keyfile
      Add the key file to the LUKS header:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sdX /root/luks-keyfile
      Update /etc/crypttab:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      cryptname /dev/sdX /root/luks-keyfile luks
      Update the initramfs:

      bash
      Copy
      Edit
      sudo update-initramfs -u
      Reboot to test automatic decryption.

      Troubleshooting
      Device not found during boot: Ensure the correct device path is used in /etc/crypttab.
      Passphrase prompt not appearing: Verify cryptsetup is installed and included in initramfs.
      Boot hangs or fails: Boot into a live session, comment out entries in /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab, and investigate.

      @travisdh1 said in WINGET: Not available on Win10.:

      I found that the name has changed to UniGetUI recently. I've been using it recently since it does all the Windows repositories I know about.

      I seem to remember WingetUI,.. But This is a case of a fresh install of Win10 not having the 'updated MS Store' that even has the native Microsoft Winget.

      I will however take a look at UniGetUI.. My goal maybe was simply just staying out of the MS Store,.. and using CLI like chocolatey, apt-get and the similar...
