Hi, it's possible to encrypt the disk before installing the OS? and there are any security, performance improvement doing so?
Thanks!
Encrypting the user data (what matters the most) is checking one box during the installation process. Encrypting the whole disk is harder: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/full-disk-encryption-install
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).
Thank you!
