Are the Linux system partitions encrypted by default ?, I’ve tried to encrypt them using Veracrypt, but it says that it only works on Windows ?.

    you must’ve downloaded the wrong VeraCrypt pogram. Download one for your Linux system after deleting the one you have now.

        VeraCrypt can encrypt entire disks on Linux but, as far as I’ve seen, nobody has done the work to make Linux boot from a VeraCrypt volume. In theory it should be possible the same as it is with LUKS, though - someone would just need to write the scripts to build an initrd that decrypts a veracrypt partition and calls pivot_root.
