> [@SoraWhiteDragon](#): > > Is there any tutorial for such an encrypted dual boot? I didn’t find any simple explained. I’m always on the lookout for this type of information and have yet to see a tutorial that meets your needs, sorry. But it can be done! The problem is that it probably will require a lot of manual interaction (partitioning, the boot part, …) and depending on how Xubuntu sets up the encryption (encrypted or unencrypted /boot) you’ll maybe even want/need to set up a third installation just to easily choose your system at boot time. Given your experience level, you may be in for a world of hurt. > [@SoraWhiteDragon](#): > > i need xubuntu for home office now Is Xubuntu a company, school or university requirement? If it is just your personal preference, why not just try an encrypted EndeavourOS? Can\*t imagine anything running on Xubuntu you couldn’t set up on Arch. If you prefer LVMonLUKS there’s a tutorial [here](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/howto-gpt-uefi-install-with-full-disk-encryption-lvmonluks-with-a-separate-home-partition-and-working-hibernation-with-a-swapfile/985), but I would recommend you try the easier to install (~15m) beginner friendly BTRFSonLUKS setup described [here](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/howto-gpt-uefi-install-with-full-disk-encryption-btrfsonluks-with-separate-root-home-and-pkg-subvolumes-hibernation-with-a-swapfile-auto-snapshots-with-easy-system-rollback-gui-boot-into-snapshots/3782). --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/2-encrypted-linux-distros-as-dualboot/3927)._
