You can set it up with LVM. It’s not exactly hard, but you do need to be able to follow a guide and have an understanding of drives. See https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/logical_volume_manager_administration/lvm_cache_volume_creation for example.

FOSS, by its very nature, does stand up for human rights more than non-FOSS. The developers believe in the user’s right to modify the source, and from that you can make the software more private/secure/etc. Closed source software doesn’t even do that much.
