Bug Description
I installed Ubuntu 20.04 GNOME LTS a month or so ago. IIRC, the only easy choices given to the user were to encrypt using LVM, and to use ZFS, and there was little or no explanation of them.
The installer should give simple radio-button or check-box ways to choose:
- ZFS or not
- encrypt Linux partitions using an LVM group, or not
- encrypt home dirs using eCryptfs, or not
- only a / partition, or separate / and /home partitions (and specify size for /)
- choose swap partition (and specify size), or swapfile (and specify size), or no swap
Each of these should have a significant help / explanation available in the installer.
