From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Unlocking LUKS with NitroKey/Yubikey: FIDO2, HMAC-SHA1, or OpenPGP? (thebrainbin.org)

Which approach do you think is better, and why?

Or do you think there is an even better way to use a hardware security token to unlock drives having LUKS full disk encryption?

All 3 mechanisms are native to a yubikey, and do not require yubikey-specific software/drivers to function as they use USB standards like FIDO2, keyboard for HMAC, and PIV/CCID for OpenPGP.

FIDO2 is built-in out-of-the-box, HMAC just requires adding the key to HMAC on slot 1 or 2 (tap vs long-hold key-inputs) using the personalization tool, or using gpg(2) to card-edit for OpenPGP.

None of these require YK software to operate.
