I got this query while distrohopping. On Linux I have to enter my password erveytime I boot to decrypt the disk. But on windows I never had to do it. The first time windows bitlocker asked for password was when I booted into windows after installed Linux. Why is it so?

    Just a side note: these days there usually isn’t any overhead for having a drive encrypted, the CPU isn’t even involved. The drive itself will decrypt the data itself.

    Again, let me emphasize: usually. There are exceptions.
