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
