Welcome to ~2015 i guess?

  No. OpenBSD had it as an optional method in the FAQ and man pages. The encryption guide was already there, but not shown in the installer. You had to run three or four short commands by spawning a shell with '!' from the installer, exit that shell and that's it. Now try doing the same by hand under Linux. With an encrypted boot.

    It is true, encrypted /boot on Linux (i.e. where the Linux kernel lives) is time-consuming and error-prone to setup, even if you have been using Linux for years. GRUB only understands LUKS version 1, and is poorly optimised, meaning LUKS' default "2 seconds of password hashing" during install/setup from a running Linux OS takes significantly (!) longer when booting via GRUB. It is the age-old cathedral/bazaar issue.
