    Mint only allows you to encrypt your home partition.

    Lol WTF? Cryptsetup has been a thing for what? Twenty years?

      encrypting /home is good if you have multiple users also eCryptfs is also thing for several years just like LUKS/dm-crypt

        /home encryption can be useful, but the fact that the installer does not offer FDE is laughable.

        Also don’t use ecryptfs, it sucks.

            Luks is fantastic. Ecryptfs not so much.
