From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not asking this for limited space. My long term purpose is having just my home with granted space and luks encryption (and obviously decryption on login).
Hmm, as in you only want your home-partition to be encrypted, nothing else? Because you can do filesystem encryption for the entire btrfs (including both root and home) and that works perfectly fine.
Not sure, if it uses LUKS for that, but there's an option in the installer for encryption...
No, you're just asking for free help and being a dick about it. Nothing is stopping you from learning and reading up this.
