It's my understanding that https://veracrypt.io/en/Downloads.html took over. That said, I'm curious to see what other people recommend.

Cryptsetup/LUKS.
Why Truecrypt was abandoned is still one of those mysteries of FOSS.
yeah the sudden shutdown with that cryptic "not secure" warning was wild - most security researchers think it was either a warrant canary or the devs just got tired of maintaining it, but noone knows for sure lol.
