Hi forum!

What do you think I should set up on my flash? (I mean store data on flash encrypted by VeraCrypt or Cryptomator or native LUKS)

LUKS seems more convenient since it is native, but what about strongest security? Or I am being paranoid?

If you only need access from Linux, just go with LUKS.  
You can always use an additional layer via encrypted folder or disk image on top of LUKS if you think it is necessary.

Yeah. Only from Linux

What do you mean? Something like LUKS + Cryptomator?

yes i also agree luks is a good option for linux. you can also interchange multiple technologies to add layers of security so if one of them is flawed in some way you still get the protection from the other ones.

LUKs2 uses Argon2 with AES256 so it can’t get much more secure.

Technically, it can get more secure by using a cascade of multiple encryption algorithms, like Veracrypt as an option for
