"That would be nice because it is a regression compared to 18.04 which
was (IIRC) the last version offering a simple way to encrypt /home in
the installer."

We are using Ubuntu Mate 18.04.01 LTS. You can not encrypt anything (not
/home, not /boot, not /) in the installer if you have a Windows already
present on the hard drive that you want to keep.

I do agree with you, the user needs to have a simple way to encrypt
their data, with a tick in the installer. We would love this to work,
and it does, but only if you are installing Linux only. We would love
this to work in a dual boot setup as well.

Title:
  Ubiquity needs to not disable the LVM and encryption options for dual
  boot

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When performing a side by side install with Windows, ubiquity
  needlessly disables the options for LVM and encryption.  Doing a
  manual install and setting up encryption works fine, so there seems to
  be no reason for Ubiquity to deny this option on the easy path.
