@Dimitri Thanks for your comments. I understand where you are coming from. I do think, however, that as Ubuntu is intended (and was intended right from day 1) to be "for human beings", it would make hugely more sense to support full-system encryption from the installer. People don't want to be

This bug needs to be assigned a high priority, because right now there is no working encryption method that is considered reliable. • ecryptfs is considered buggy and insufficiently maintained. • fscrypt is unusable as described in this bug report. • Full-system encryption is unsuitable for most

I have just discovered that home-folder encryption has been removed from Ubuntu because, it seems, it is considered buggy and under-maintained. Full-disk encryption is recommended as an alternative. Reference: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/04/how-to-encrypt-home-folder-in-ubuntu.html As you
