“but I like Windows”
I can’t imagine any better reason to use Windows than that.
Would it not be easy for them to block access to VPNs if they outlaw them?
Not necessarily. It’s reasonably easy to keep long lists of known IP address ranges of known VPN providers and block access to these, but VPN traffic to a not well known IP address is generally impossible to distinguish from perfectly legal encrypted traffic such as a VPN connection to a corporate intranet. (There are also VPN protocols that are made deliberately hard to identify at all.)

Just in case there’s someone here who’d like to know: that “cold cupboard” technology that preceded the refrigerator in people’s homes is called Eisschrank in German.
Is there any reason to do full disk encryption, vs encrypting a single partiton or a folder with eCryptfs?
One obvious reason is that it just is very simple to encrypt the entire disk and be done with it.

There are more than 50 million YouTube channels that upload new content each month and there are nearly 3 billion YouTube users, so the likelihood that you’ll intersect with any of them is rather slim.
Why would you?

While I love the movie dearly, you might summarize the plot as some guy he didn’t really know happening to leave Rick some valuable documents before getting murdered and Rick then agonizing for a while before deciding to give these documents to the husband of this old girlfriend for sentimental reasons, the end.
Commodore’s bankruptcy in 1994 was the end of the Amiga, which forced me to switch to something else.
At the time, the choice of hardware I could afford and operating systems that didn’t suck was extremely limited, a PC with Linux was pretty much the only practical choice and I’ve stuck with that ever since.
Funny thing: before the App Store, the original plan for the iPhone was that all third-party apps should be webapps.
PSA: There’s no way to disable encryption in Signal.
