No.  That is a feature to encrypt the entire Linux Lite installation, similar to full disk encryption.  You'll have a password/key to enter before getting to the operating system to log in to the desktop.


Maybe encrypt home folder during the install was removed as a feature during installation because it caused problems like this one:

I do believe there is a way to encrypt the home folder post installation.  But I admit I'm having some time finding that in the Help Manual.  Previously, it was suggested if you encrypted the home folder to do so after installing Linux Lite.  I encrypt the entire installation, but if you share the PC with other users, I can see why you might want to allow each user to have their home folder encrypted.

Thanks for the response, That's what I expected. I don't have the expertise to encrypt post install so no Lite I guess.
