What Hacker News says?
I’d be very happy if they could introduce disk encryption by default or maybe with a yes/no question during the installation. Because the current way to do it is a little bit to difficult and unsafe for me to be honest: https://davidalger.com/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-on-apple-sil...

HN discussionSorry this happened to you. It is indeed correct that the Asahi installer does not support encryption, see https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-installer/issues/137 It can be done, but it's not straightforward: https://davidalger.com/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-on-apple-sil...
