Encrypting the user data (what matters the most) is checking one box during  
the installation process.  Encrypting the whole disk is harder:

Encryption entails a negligible performance penalty.  It definitely is good  
for your privacy, as long as the password is long enough: somebody stealing  
your computer will not be able to read your user data (or anything if you go  
for a full-disk encryption).
