Heads up: "On certain devices (Adreno-based GPUs, e.g. OnePlus 6) Flatpaks apps using GTK4 might fail to start with a currently unknown reason.
As a temporary workaround, you can start flatpak apps with GSK_RENDERER=ngl as environment variable."

I was just giving the latest Siduction .iso a try and noticed that there was no option for full disk encryption unless I do a manual setup. Is this correct or did I do something wrong ?

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
