Some people have been a part of your life as long as you can remember. They feel like a pillar, part of the structure of the world. Then they are gone leaving an empty space. Your view of the world suddenly feels less secure. Nothing left but to remember and do the best we can with the memories.

I would personally use Debian as my first choice then use Ubuntu if there is a reason to use it over Debian. For example Ubuntu will often integrate drivers for new devices faster than Debian. But if you are dealing with hardware released more 1 year ago, I wouldn’t worry about that. Also, some applications will specifically call out Ubuntu as their supported distro.

Any reason you need to encrypt the host OS information? I would assume anything interesting would be in the VM and you could probably have the VM encrypt it’s own storage.
