    For more regular data you want to keep secure. Full disk encryption. Get that setup then as long as you did not use weak encryption method or have weak unlock methods you’re golden.

    As for existing unencrypted data, overwriting it once is all you need.

    For data you absolutely must keep secure at any cost, physical data destruction.
