I downloaded VeraCrypt (maybe from sourceforge?) years ago, and the installer was full of a bunch of shit I had to decline.  I missed one and it took over my browser, the registry entries kept repairing themselves after I manually deleted them, and I had to purge the whole system to clean up the fucking mess.  Needless to say, it left a bad taste in my mouth, and haven't tried it again. 

Are partitions encrypted with VeraCrypt compatible with LUKS/cryptsetup?
