Problem securing new Ubuntu 22.04 installation
Home dir encryption was previously avaiable in ubuntu installer, it used ecryptfs. There is a better option this days: linux native filesystem encryption. ext4 is one of supported fs (I guess you're on it). It involves some manual setup though. Packages to install: fscrypt, libpam-fscrypt. Docs to read: https://github.com/google/fscrypt/blob/v0.3.3/README.md

Private Home Directories for Ubuntu 21.04
BTW: The only issue I‘ve come across was that the pulseaudio user daemon couldn’t initialize during login (because it started before fscrypt unlocked home dir). There is an easy workaround for Ubuntu 20: https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/270

I believe i've completely fvcked up my installation of bitwarden
the last thing i would recommend for you is, if you have that CVS file.... it's probably plain text.... so you should encrypt it using a tool like https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt and a pass phrase you can remember... write it down somewhere safe, even.... that way your password list is not wide open and readable *if* an intruder gains access to your system...

Check out Picocrypt, it might be useful to you for this case

7zip AES-256 & File encryption
If you want more choice of encryption algorithms, try Picocrypt. Veracrypt also has more algorithms and has been audited.

Does xchacha not follow an open standard?
Hey so when looking at xchacha as it seems to be getting more and more popular in terms of adoption for securing files/messages etc. I noticed that when experimenting and testing file encryption with applications like dexios picocrypt and hat.sh that none of the files could be read/understood by other applications. While this doesn't happen with alot of other apps/algos likes aes afaik.
- I Added a CLI
What are some alternatives?
When comparing fscrypt and Picocrypt you can also consider the following projects:
gocryptfs - Encrypted overlay filesystem written in Go
age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
