There was an article here a few months ago about TPM backed full disk encryption in Ubuntu 21.04: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-21.04-Encrypt-No-LVM https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-2... Anybody know what happened to that idea? It's been a long time desire of mine to have a secure Linux laptop without needing to enter my password twice during startup and I was hoping to get it with this release, but when I tried the beta the installer did not allow it. Easy LDAP/AD support and TPM encryption were the two showstoppers whenever I asked IT departments at previous workplaces to provide me with a Linux laptop, as their engineers did not know how to set them up but they had compliance check-boxes they needed to fill in regardless of utility (antivirus being a third one but it turns out these days AV companies actually provide Linux builds). Now that the LDAP/AD stuff is sorted out, fingers crossed for TPM encryption.

> "It's been a long time desire of mine to have a secure Linux laptop without needing to enter my password twice during startup" Only with regards to that sentence (as I don't know much about TPM): You can simply opt for full disk encryption during install, and then you can also select "automatically log me in on boot" (not exact wording) when creating your user. So you enter the encryption password and that's it. Not sure why you would _need_ to enter password twice with encryption? That's how I handle it. Screen lock, or returning from suspend still prompts for user password as usual.
