Downloaded Kubuntu because i couldn't seen to be able to boot from a freshly created KDE Neon bootable usb.

Installed it onto my netbook (Lenovo Thinkpad X121E) and it worked great!

But just the fact that somehow the installer froze when trying to setup hdd encryption kept bugging me.

Took a random flash drive which was laying around and put it in to see what would happen. KDE Neon booted just like this and everything worked very well with hdd encryption.

I now have a very secure netbook 😊
