I like to use btrfs subvolumes inside a luks lvm volume for this reason.

    What? Btrfs subvolumes are basically the same as logical volumes. That's somewhat redundant.

    Your correct. It is redundant. I think I needed the lvm layer to get an installer to recognize the luks partition. Can't remember if it's Pop or Fedora. That installer bug might be fixed now though. One day I'll check and update my drive so its just using btrfs on luks.

    VeraCrypt solves this issue. I leave my main OS unencrypted then simply store veracrypt partitions to the size I need and put files inside that as needed. I've dealt with resizing luks partitions and its not worth it. Especially if you build, maintain, or otherwise tinker with you system.
