    I think PopOS can safely assume that its being installed on a laptop with only one drive. If there’s multiple drives involved then the setup gets far more complicated as you then must go to something like an LUKS on LVM setup. Basically, for a desktop there’s no safe defaults for FDE.

    I’m pretty sure all the major distros have FDE as an option in the installer its just never on by default. Fedora does the same but with BTRFS on LUKS. I’m sure Debian does. Someone else says OpenSuse does. Maybe some derivative distros don’t but I suspect the ones with an graphical installer do.
