As the installer for 25.04 includes (experimental) support for ZFS, with
and without LUKS for encryption, this line might be altered:

> - encrypt home dirs using eCryptfs, or not

– to include optional ZFS encryption of the primary user's home
directory, if LUKS is not chosen for the rpool.

Title:
  installer should give easy options for common choices

Status in base-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
