Librem 5 Encryption Confusion

Hardware Librem 5
7

If you reflash yourself using the librem5-flash-image script, then there is an option called --variant where you can select “plain” or “luks”:

librem5-flash-image$ ./scripts/librem5-flash-image -h
[...]
optional arguments:
[...]
   --variant {plain,luks}
          Image variant to download ( plain, luks ), default is 'plain'

I guess that since it says default is ‘plain’ you will not get encryption unless you say --variant luks explicitly.
