This is an excellent point! At least open source OS systems should make encryption the standard option. But even Ubuntu seems unable to pull this off and more or less in stagnation on this - despite EFF's efforts ( https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/05/help-bring-disk-encryption-ubuntu-live-cd https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/05/help-bring-disk-encryp... ).

You can set up an encrypted LVM, or whatever partitioning scheme you like, the default settings also seemed very sensible so you don't even have to touch anything. Secondly, regular Ubuntu installer offers to encrypt your home dir.
