For Ubuntu, are you referring to LUKS or /home/user encryption?

If you want protection from someone booting up your computer in single/rescue mode to read/modify files you'd have to encrypt the entire disk (using LUKS, for example).

Doesn't matter, both of them are offered by the OS installer and are easy to set up.

FYI: only full disk encryption is available now in 18.04:

"The installer no longer offers the encrypted home option using ecryptfs-utils. It is recommended to use full-disk encryption instead for this release." https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Other_base...
