I'm doing a fresh install of KDE Neon with neon-user-20210107-0944.iso

When installing Neon I do have a (new) option to encrypt the disk but in older installers I had the option to choose "Guided, use entire disk and setup encrypted LVM".
Like in this screenshot

In the newer installer when I use encryption and reboot I don't get a GUI decryption prompt like before and decryption takes ages after filling in my passphrase.
Probably this is due to GRUB encryption?
Other Distros like Ubuntu, Kubuntu etc still use the "old" way. Is there something I can do with Neon to get Guided, use entire disk and setup encrypted LVM back?

Any one?

I've used a Ubuntu 20.04 Server installation after completing the minimal installation with LVM backed LukS Encyption I added the neon repos and installed KDE Neon successfully.

Thanks for your reply!
That indeed could be a workaround.
Though it would be great if KDE Neon itself would have the proper settings.
Could you post which repo's you've added and how?

Just tried the new build (neon-user-20210114-0946.iso) with the same result.

I really want to use KDE Neon but for me this is a showstopper. Pity!

I wanted to install KDE Neon on a second laptop and just hit this as well. The boot time is horrendous with the default encrypted install.

I tried a manual partition (install bootloader to /boot):
/boot (unencrypted)
/ (encrypted)

But the installer fails if I attempt this configuration.

Neon uses Calamares installer, which will have an option to make a separate unencrypted /boot partition that is gonna solve this issue. Somebody mentioned that manually creating the partitions lead to an error in the middle of the installation, but nobody answered yet.
