Problem securing new Ubuntu 22.04 installation
Home dir encryption was previously avaiable in ubuntu installer, it used ecryptfs. There is a better option this days: linux native filesystem encryption. ext4 is one of supported fs (I guess you're on it). It involves some manual setup though. Packages to install: fscrypt, libpam-fscrypt. Docs to read: https://github.com/google/fscrypt/blob/v0.3.3/README.md

Private Home Directories for Ubuntu 21.04
BTW: The only issue I‘ve come across was that the pulseaudio user daemon couldn’t initialize during login (because it started before fscrypt unlocked home dir). There is an easy workaround for Ubuntu 20: https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/270

Magic Wormhole: Get things from one computer to another, safely
>The only thing I know about croc is that they misread a SPAKE2 description and it was very broken (https://github.com/schollz/pake/commit/04729caa1862a96ce3aef...) while also not knowing how long private keys should be
What are some alternatives?
When comparing fscrypt and pake you can also consider the following projects:
gocryptfs - Encrypted overlay filesystem written in Go
gopaque - Go implementation of OPAQUE (hidden password user registration and auth)
